Jury in Stardust inquest seek further legal guidance
Summary
On its sixth day of deliberations, the 12‑person jury in the Stardust inquest asked Coroner Dr Myra Cullinane for further legal guidance. The questions focused on the meaning of "standards" at the time of the 1981 fire that killed 48 people at the Stardust nightclub in Artane. The jury sought clarification on whether standards referred to normal behaviour or to codified laws, regulations or byelaws. Dr Cullinane said she would answer the questions the following day, after which the jury would resume its deliberations in the Pillar Room of the Rotunda Hospital.
