This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

Patrick Butterly’s evidence to a 1981 tribunal was summarised to the Stardust inquest jury on 15 March 2024, according to a report published that day.

The summary included his testimony before the Tribunal of Inquiry, which was held before Justice Ronan Keane.

A later inquest verdict found unlawful killing in the deaths of all 48 victims, but the report does not connect that verdict to any finding about Butterly’s testimony or personal responsibility.
