I've grown up with the news of the Stardust tragedy, and am glad those families finally have an outcome that tells it like it is.... it was unlawful killing.
It has been a ridiculously long wait ( I won't say for justice), so I hope it brings some peace to those bereaved families 🙏
RIP to the 48

Another great article by Brenda Power in The Sunday Times today on the Stardust verdict.
She writes ".....the septic and feckless cesspit that was Irish politics at the time...."
So true.

ith many politicians showing contempt for their constituents. Proven by All political parties assuming that people would vote yes for their thought out wokety

Simon Harris is delivering a very powerful apology at the moment.

He is, I have to say and I hadn't much time for him.

Sean Haughey must be squirming.
Charlie didn't cover himself in glory in relation to the Stardust tragedy.
He could have done so much more.
He was all bon homie when looking for votes but ..............

He enriched his children hugely when he died.
What was Abbeyville sold to a developer pre crash for ?
