Stardust survivor Antoinette Keegan, who lost two sisters in the fire, has hit out at Fianna Fáil TD Seán Haughey after he addressed the Dáil today following the Taoiseach’s state apology to the families.
The Stardust was a disaster waiting to happen due to the persistent failure of successive governments to deal with fire safety in buildings to which the public had access notably discos, hotels, pubs and nightclubs. And much of the blame for this lack of action lay with senior officials at the Department of Local Government.
The Government will commit to a redress scheme in due course for the families of the victims of the Stardust fire tragedy that killed 48 people, the Sunday Independent can reveal.
