Stardust families undeterred as inquiry denied

Survivors of the Stardust fire and families of the dead have vowed to continue their fight for a fresh inquiry despite a Government-commissioned review concluding there was no new evidence to support another investigation.

A report by retired judge Pat McCartan yesterday dismissed outright 17 issues t raised by the Stardust Victims Committee, which said they were grounds for a new inquiry.

The families rejected his conclusions and said their next move would be to seek leave for judicial review to challenge the report in the High Court.
