Families of some of the 48 victims of the Stardust fire disaster have called for a state apology after the year-long inquest into their deaths in 1981 reached a verdict of unlawful killing.

The Gardaí said they would await the coroner’s report on the deaths, after the fire broke out in the nightclub in the working class north Dublin suburb 43 years ago.
