Survivor Antoinette Keegan gave evidence at the Stardust inquests in Dublin on 24 October 2023, describing her escape from the fire that killed her sisters.

Keegan said she and her sisters were holding hands as they were pushed to the ground near an exit. She recalled a ball of flame coming towards them and said she put her hands over her head before losing consciousness.

She was dragged from the building and spent almost two weeks confined to bed on a life support machine, she told the inquest.
