Families who lost loved ones at the Stardust have been waiting 41 years for truth and justice. They want to know the truth about the fire which claimed the lives of 48 young people who never came home. Given the length of time the inquest will run for, it is essential the jury is paid. It is also very important that the jury is selected from the electoral register. Last night in the Seanad, a Bill passed Second Stage that would allow a jury to be selected and paid. Will the Government support this Bill going through the Dáil quickly? Will the Government bring in its own changes to legislation to ensure a paid jury is put in place that is selected from the electoral register? When will this be done?
