Taoiseach Simon Harris will give a State apology to the victims of the Stardust tragedy and their families in the Dail today.
A staggering 48 young people lost their lives in the nightclub fire in Artane, Co Dublin, in the early hours of 14 February 1981.
Their families have fought long and hard to find out the truth about what happened that night.
Now many of them will be in the public gallery in the Dail to hear Mr Harris apologise for the failings of the Sate.
Today there will be acknowledgment in the Dáil of what harrowingly unfolded in the Stardust nightclub.
The long road to justice for all those who campaigned over the last 43 years will also be centre stage in this afternoon’s proceedings which will span four hours.
This morning Mr Harris will brief the Cabinet before he gives the State apology in the Dáil at 2pm.
