Cabinet row over new Stardust probe

A fresh stand-off has erupted between Fine Gael and the Independent Alliance over whether a fresh inquiry into the 1981 Stardust tragedy should be established.

The Dáil is due next week to debate an opposition bill, but the Government has yet to decide a response to it.

This is the latest row to emerge among the Coalition following serious disagreements on opposition bills on abortion and neutrality.
