The Department of Justice has not replied to pleas from the Stardust victims and families four weeks after it was found that some did not qualify for legal aid.

An email from Phoenix Law, which represents the majority of families, seen by the Irish Examiner, dated yesterday, notes that despite urgent correspondence sought four weeks ago from Minister Helen McEntee's office, no reply has been received.
