Dublin South West Sinn F\u00e9in TD, Se\u00e1n Crowe, has backed calls by the Stardust Relatives and Victims Committee for a fresh inquest into the deaths of 48 people at the Stardust nightclub in Artane in 1981.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the launch of a postcard campaign outside Leinster House, Deputy Crowe said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe original inquest into the fire was held just a year after the blaze and when very little was known about the events that night.<\/p>\n

“Since then much more detail and new evidence has come to light. The Stardust victims and relatives deserve some semblance of truth and justice.<\/p>\n

\u201cSolicitor Darragh Mackin, of KRW Law firm, believes there is now enough evidence to warrant a fresh inquest and I am backing his call.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy Sinn F\u00e9in colleague and Dublin MEP, Lynn Boylan, launched this postcard campaign to raise consciousness and greater awareness around what happened in Stardust Nightclub 37 years ago.<\/p>\n

“We are now asking members of the public to send one of these postcards to the Attorney General requesting he grant a fresh inquest into this tragedy as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe families and friends of the 48 people who never came home that night have a right to the full truth about what happened on that awful night. It was a tragedy that continues to haunt a whole generation of teenagers who felt less innocent and older following this fire.<\/p>\n

“I would urge members of the public to help the campaign in any way they can and to send a postcard.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
