Families renew calls for fresh Stardust inquiry

Families of the Stardust fire victims have renewed their call for a fresh inquiry as independent TDs prepare to bring a motion before the Dáil backing their campaign.

Independent for Change TD Tommy Broughan’s motion seeks a commission of investigation into the fire which killed 48 and injured more than 200 during a St Valentine’s night disco 37 years ago. He has the backing of People Before Profit and Solidarity deputies.

Outside the Dáil yesterday, Mr Broughan addressed bereaved families who expressed disappointment with successive governments’ handling of the case.
