Last month, the first pre-inquests hearing was held into the deaths of 48 people in the Stardust nightclub in Artane, north Dublin in February 1981. At the time, then-AG Seamus Woulfe said that it was considered “in the public interest and in the interest of justice” that new inquests were held. “The scope will extend to ascertaining the cause of the fire, if possible,” the coroner said, adding that factors such as the condition of the premises prior to the fire and forensic analysis of the scene following the events may also be considered.
