Stardust Fire
Dail Éireann — 2026-01-27
============================================================

Barry Heneghan (IND), Dublin Bay North

I welcome that. I understand phase 2 is not just about redress; it is practical and financial and long overdue. I appreciate that the Minister cannot give a specific timeline but I welcome that he will bring forward proposals on this. The survivors and their families were looking for a timeframe for when the payments will commence and what will be developed.
I again thank Antoinette Keegan for working with me and my office and for speaking to me in her home. I saw at first hand how it still haunts her to this day. She told me the story of being beside her two sisters when they were killed. All she wants is truth and justice. As the Minister mentioned, we are approaching the 45th anniversary. The memory has never gone away for the survivors.
