Stardust survivor Antoinette Keegan to run for election and launch new political party

A survivor of the Stardust fire is going to start a political party aimed at finding "truth and justice" in Irish society, Dublin Live can reveal.

Antoinette Keegan, who tragically lost her sisters Mary and Martina in the fire, is set to launch her own party after years of campaigning for the Stardust victims and survivors. The blaze at the Stardust nightclub in Artane took place in the early hours of Valentine's Day in 1981.

Some 800 people attended the disco on the night and, tragically, 48 of those died while a further 214 were injured. Antoinette has been fighting to get to the bottom of what happened ever since.
