Stardust families to hold candle lit vigil as they slam government over lack of venue for inquest

The families of the 48 people who lost their lives in the Stardust night club fire in Dublin are set to hold a candle-lit vigil this Sunday, as they reveal that there is still no venue for the inquest amid concerns over jury selection and payment.

The fatal fire took place at the Artane nightclub in the early hours of Valentine's Day in 1981, claiming 48 lives and leaving hundreds injured.

Antoinette Keegan, who lost her sisters Mary, 19, and Martina, 16, told Dublin Live that the lack of clarity over a venue is "an insult to the 48 lives lost" and their families.
