13 min read After her parents died in the 1981 disaster, Lisa Lawlor became known as the âStardust babyâ, and became an unwitting receptacle for the grief and anger of others When she was 17-months-old, Lisa Lawlorâs parents Maureen and Francis left her at home in Finglas with a babysitter, so they could have a rare night out. The date was February 13th, 1981, the night before Valentineâs Day. Lisa was recovering from a slight cough, and her mother was worried about leaving her, but Francis was persuasive. He had got tickets from a friend to a disco in Artane. The disco was at the Stardust. Lisaâs parents â like 46 other young people who went out that night â never came home.
