A gathering at the site of the Stardust nightclub fire, where 48 young people died 40 years ago, heard fresh calls for the truth to be told and expressed hope that an upcoming inquest might finally give victimsâ families the answers they have been seeking for decades.
Some of those attending the low-key commemoration wore black face masks with the number 48 and the word âTruthâ on them.
Similar masks were worn by a team of firefighters from Dublin Fire Brigade who attended, signalling the end of a minuteâs silence with a fire siren.
The names of those who died in the fire were read out, and small plaques featuring their names and their photographs were attached to the wall of the building in Artane, north Dublin, that now sits on the site of the blaze.
