I just want to conclude. I did not want the McCartan assessment to take place because I feared that it was the Government’s plan to kick the can down the road and to narrow the terms of reference so much that it was set up to fail from the beginning. Anyway, what could a Coffey part two exercise achieve? We clearly now need a commission of investigation under the 2004 Act, with the widest possible inquiry and remit across all the lines of inquiry I mentioned, to evaluate all existing research and to encourage everybody who knows anything about the Stardust to come forward.

Before any more time is lost, we must ensure that all witnesses have their say. Almost 40 years have passed since that tragic night and the latest research on fire dynamics and engineering should be utilised to examine what caused the fire in the roof space.
