An insurer refusing to quote for fire cover, a priest unable to get through an exit, and a doorman retracting his statement saying he had unlocked the doors is just some of the key evidence being summarised as the Stardust inquests near their long-awaited conclusion.

Coroner Dr Myra Cullinane began on Friday describing the 95 days of witness evidence heard by the jury at the Stardust inquests. The inquests have almost reached their climax, with only the coroner’s summary and charge left before the jury retires to consider its verdict.
