Dublin City Council Statement
Published on 19th April 2024
Dublin City Council acknowledges the verdicts of the jury into the deaths of the 48 people who died because of the Stardust fire. It is hoped that these verdicts will finally provide closure for the families who lost their loved ones.
The Council thanks the jury for its long attendance at the inquests and its careful deliberations. The Council also thanks Dr. Myra Cullinane, Dublin Senior Coroner who presided over the inquests.
The Council wishes to publicly commend Dublin Fire Brigade for its response to the fire on the night, for the members’ heroic efforts in effecting rescue and for conducting themselves to the highest standards of the Fire Brigade.
Finally, our thoughts are with the 48 people who died on that awful night and their families.
May they Rest In Peace.
