As the Tánaiste may know, Ms Antoinette Keegan of the Stardust Victims Group spent the past 24 hours in the security hut at the entrance to the Taoiseach’s Department. This was on foot of a commitment an Taoiseach gave Ms Keegan and her committee during the 2011 general election when he visited the Artane area with Deputy Terence Flanagan. He stated he would immediately hold a new commission of investigation under the 2004 commissions of investigation legislation into the Stardust tragedy in which 48 young people tragically lost their lives.

Friday week will be the 33rd anniversary of the tragedy, yet the commitment given has not been carried out. Deputies Terence Flanagan, Boyd Barrett and others asked the Ceann Comhairle for a debate on this matter in the House today. Will the Tánaiste meet Ms Keegan and her committee to set in train in steps where we could finally have a commission of investigation into this tragedy? When Deputy Rabbitte was leader of the Labour Party, he investigated the matter with me. It is an horrendous legacy issue-----
