A woman who was the only child left orphaned by the Stardust fire has told of how the tragedy has left an indelible mark on her life. Lisa Lawlor, now 41 and living in Swords, north Dublin, with her children, describes the heartache of growing up as an orphan in her book The Stardust Baby. In an emotional interview with The Daily Telegraph ahead of the 40th anniversary of the tragedy later this month, she opened up about how the death of her parents Maureen (23) and Francis (25) Lawlor during the devastating fire on Valentine’s Day 1981 at the Stardust nightclub in north Dublin changed her life forever.
