Tommy Broughan (Dublin North East, Labour)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to discuss a matter of national importance, namely, that the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform urgently respond to the Stardust relatives and victims' committee regarding the memorandum submitted to him and the Taoiseach last November requesting the establishment of a commission of investigation into the appalling tragedy which cost 48 young lives at the Stardust nightclub in 1981; that the Minister immediately indicates who he has appointed as the eminent legal person to review all the new evidence related to the Stardust disaster and how it will be funded; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
