Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss the following specific and important matter of public interest, namely, if the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform will urgently respond to the Stardust Relatives and Victims Committee regarding a memorandum submitted to him and the Taoiseach last summer requesting the establishment of a commission of investigation into the appalling tragedy which cost 48 young lives at the Stardust nightclub, Artane, Dublin 5 of which tomorrow is the 26th anniversary; if he and the Government will establish this commission to bring justice and closure to the families of the victims of this terrible disaster; and if he will make a statement on the matter. We want the Taoiseach to appoint a commission of investigation under the recent Act.
