Over the years, it seemed as though the Stardust fire slipped from the public's mind. The families and survivors never gave up, but at times it felt like their campaign was going no where - all that changed in September 2019.

Episode 6: They want it to go away, but it won’t

Stardust is a new six-part series from TheJournal.ie that delves into one of the worst tragedies in the history of the Irish State. At a Valentine's disco in 1981, 48 young people died and more than 200 people were injured after a fire in Dublin's Stardust nightclub. With the families left still fighting for justice almost four decades on, we ask how did Ireland get it so wrong the first time around? Stardust is presented by Sean Murray, produced by Nicky Ryan with executive producer Christine Bohan.
