Stardust fire campaign
AS PART of the campaign seeking a fresh inquest into the 1981 Stardust fire, families and supporters will be in Tallaght this Saturday, July 28.

The visit to Tallaght is part of a nationwide campaign to encourage support and obtain postcard signatures, which will be sent to the Attorney General in support of a fresh inquest.
Sinn Féin Dublin MEP, Lynn Boylan, who is a Kilnamanagh native, said: “There is huge amount of public and political support for the families of the Stardust campaign in this area.
“Signing the postcard is a tangible way that people can show their support, so I would urge all local communities to get involved.
“The postcard calls on the Attorney General to exercise his right under Section 24 of the Coroners Act 1962 to grant a fresh inquest as soon as possible.”
She added: “This is a campaign which needs cross-political support so the families can get justice.”
A stall will be based in Tallaght this Saturday, July 28 from 11am to 1pm (at the pedestrian crossing outside The Square, at cinema, and across from Aussie Outback).
