Stardust families to get answer today on new inquiry

The families of the Stardust tragedy victims are to learn tomorrow if the Government will open up a fresh inquiry into what happened.

Justice Minister Charlie Flanagan is to bring a memorandum for discussion to Cabinet but the families will be presented with copies of the report immediately afterwards.

The fire claimed the lives of 48 people in Artane in 1981, and families of the victims have been calling for “new and updated evidence” to be reviewed.
