The Taoiseach is "hopeful" that a day of commemoration for the victims of the Stardust tragedy will go ahead, but is adamant that nothing will happen without the families.

Simon Harris last month announced that a remembrance ceremony will be held for the 48 young people who lost their lives in the 1981 fire this Sunday.
