Stardust jury 'very close' to reach verdicts

The jury in the Stardust inquests is"very close" to reaching verdicts, the Dublin City Coroner’s Court has heard on the tenth day of deliberations.

The foreman of the 12-person jury told the proceedings this morning that they were putting the"final wording" together at the moment. He was responding to a question from the coroner, Dr Myra Cullinane, who asked the jury what progress they have been making.It is expected those questions will be put to her just before 1pm.

The 12-person jury, made up of seven women and five men, initially retired to consider their verdicts on Wednesday 3 April.In all, these fresh inquests at the Dublin City Coroner's Court sat for 122 days and heard testimony from 370 witnesses. They got under way last April after a direction from the Attorney General who said that there had been an insufficiency of inquiry at the original inquests which were held in 1982.In her charge to the jury last month, the coroner told the jury that there were five verdicts open to them - accidental death, death by misadventure, unlawful killing, an open verdict or a narrative verdict.
