More than 42 years on from the Stardust fire, fresh inquests for the 48 people who died in the tragedy will begin on Tuesday in Dublin.

Families will meet at 9.30am at the Garden of Remembrance and then walk hand-in-hand, shoulder-to-shoulder to the Pillar Rooms at the Rotunda Hospital where the inquests will take place before coroner Dr Myra Cullinane and an empanelled jury.
