Gardaí still 'actively pursuing' a review into the deaths of 48 people in Stardust nightclub disaster

Some of the hundreds of people looking to escape found some of the emergency exit doors either blocked or locked.

Gardaí have said they are still “actively pursuing” a review into the deaths of 48 people in the Stardust nightclub in north Dublin, as Saturday marks the 45th anniversary of the tragedy.

In a statement, An Garda Síochána said its Serious Crime Review Team at the Garda National Bureau of Criminal Investigation is continuing its work on the fire almost two years after the review was ordered following inquest verdicts that all of the young people who died were “unlawfully killed”.
