The families of the 48 victims of the Stardust fire tragedy in 1981 have vowed to continue to fight as they hope to bring forward the date for a new inquest.
It was ruled earlier today that the inquests will not begin until April 2023 due to the amount of time it will take to pick a jury. But survivor Antoinette Keegan, who lost her sisters Martina and Mary in the blaze, said that at the next pre-inquest hearing on December 15 they will work to "convince" the coroner to bring the inquest forward to February or March.
It has been eight months since the initial judicial review and the High Court has ruled that "unlawful killing" can be considered as a potential verdict. This follows legal action by former Stardust manager Eamon Butterly.
