The families of the 48 victims of the 1981 Stardust fire gathered together for a candlelit vigil this afternoon to mark the 42nd anniversary of the tragedy.
The fire occurred at the Stardust Ballroom in Artane in the early hours of 14 February 1981 during a Valentine's Day disco. New inquests into the deaths are set to begin on April 19.
A new memorial wall for the victims was unveiled by Charlie Bird at today's vigil and the North Dublin community Gospel Choir and Dublin Fire Brigade Pipe Band performed music throughout the afternoon. Christy Moore also performed 'They Never Came Home' via video.
