Cian O'Callaghan (SD), Dublin Bay North

I will ask the Taoiseach about the Stardust inquests. It is 41 years since 48 young people never came home from a night out at the Stardust. In addition, 214 people were seriously injured that night. The fire had a devastating impact on the families and surrounding communities in Artane, Coolock, Kilmore and surrounding areas. The State response to the fire, and the total failure to uncover the truth about how it started, has had a major impact on the families and survivors. It is very important the remaining obstacles to the commencement of the inquests are dealt with urgently. It is essential a paid jury is at the inquests. Will the Government act now to ensure there is a paid jury at the inquests?
