A couple who lost their only child in the Stardust disaster on Valentine's Day 1981 say they're hoping that the inquest will be the end of their bid to find answers to what happened on the tragic night.
Caroline McHugh from Artane was 17 when she died in the fire that killed 48 young people in the popular north Dublin nightclub on February 14, 1981. Her parents, Maurice and Phyllis, travelled to the Rotunda Hospital where the inquest is being held to give a pen portrait of their beloved daughter in front of 15 jury members.
Speaking to Dublin Live, Maurice McHugh said that they spent some time on the pen portrait for Caroline but admitted that they feel "a bit apprehensive about the whole thing" because they have had so many knockbacks over the years.
