Game of Thrones star Liam Cunningham has told of his frantic search for his sister on the night of the Stardust fire.
Speaking to Katie Hannon for RTE’s new Upfront podcast, the Dubliner recalled the blaze on February 14, 1981, which killed 48 young people. His younger sister Maria was at the Dublin nightclub that night.
Liam, 61, said: “I remember exactly where I was. I was up having a lemonade. I was a motorbiker at the time, and, for some reason, I drove past the Stardust just before the fire happened.” Later when he was in bed, he heard what he would later learn was the sound of propane gas tanks exploding.
