Relatives of the 48 people who died in the Stardust nightclub fire have welcomed the announcement that special jury provisions will be introduced for the upcoming inquest.
On Thursday, Minister for Justice Helen McEntee received Government approval to amend legislation that would allow an independent jury selection to take place for the upcoming inquest.
The legislation, which is intended to be passed before the summer recess, will allow the coroner to seek the assistance of the Courts Service in selecting a jury for the inquests into the fire.
