They got the unlawful killing verdict - rightfully so.

But there is no consequences for those responsible - Am I right in saying that.

In Joe's world of maths this inquest verdict came almost a century after the event (seen as the Dromcollogher fire of 1926 was almost a century before Stardust)

avfc1874

NeinNeinNein

F.ck off you pathetic clown.

Red Fred

Yup, tears and a readout of the names.

I thought it'd be a poem or that Moore song, still time though

Ah he got over the tears pretty quick there - fake, fake, fake.

For Forks Sake

He's sounding very gassy today, must have fuelled himself with an extra large lunch before he went on air

thecretinhop

BPKS

Hard to know - the allegation of the locked fire exits has long been there but absolutely denied in the past by owners/ managers. Now that's accepted fact??

He got a sonnet in and 'You'll never walk alone'

No doubt the freak will call up to Parnell Square on his way home.

If you're under say late 50s, you'd be cynical alright. But Joe as I've pointed out was not dissimilar age to the victims then - it was a bad time.

avfc1874

Joe will be straight down to the canteen for a large bun to celebrate, and he's already, put the show out of his mind 👍

Man of the people......

My arse

Ray just got one up on de bold Joe!

Ireland became a Republic 75 years ago today.

I was 11 the time of the Stardust fire, so younger than those who perished and just a bit too young to contemplate what a nightclub/disco was like, but within a few years I discovered and hung out in too many places that flaunted the fire regulations just like The Stardust did for greed and profit above all else, and were protected by political, legal and financial interests in doing so.

Even at that age and in the ensuing 40+ years it seemed completely insane and criminally negligent to think that converting a former jam factor to a night club by adding some highly flammable tiered seats, plastering the walls with flammable carpet tiles, overloading an electrical system unfit for usage and paring costs to the last on staffing, training and security so much so that it became necessary (or more financially expedient) to lock the fire escape doors instead of monitoring them with security staff.

All that has been pretty obvious to most people for the past 40+ years yet in an appalling insult to the victims, their families and the people of Artane and Coolock, this was all conveniently swept under the carpet for years and kept there by political and legal machinations and expediency. Was it perhaps because the B family were good constituents of CJH? Was it perhaps that he needed to reward Justice K because he was having an affair with his wife? Either way it all stank from day 1 and CJH's dirty paw prints were all over it, right from his crocodile tears in the aftermath?

Finally today the grieving families have had their justice and, a very much lesser consideration, Christy Moore has been vindicated for that accusatory line in "They never came home". May God bless them all and their memory.

A real modern day tragedy. Maybe less sports and general shite sponsorship lads and your costs mightn’t be so high.

Yeah, something always stank to high heaven about the various Stardust enquiries. Why its taken soo long for the victims and their families to finally get justice and what if any consequences will be faced by the people who are to blame.... is another days work

squonk

Maybe he was crying at the end of the show because the internal TV showed them throwing out the uneaten coddle in the canteen? He probably mad plans to make inroads on any leftovers after the show.

Atlantic Dawn

Seen a tweet on X about today's show about when Joe said people should check their smoke alarms are wurking, they said he should have mentioned they should also check their exits are not chained shut. 😥

Is there any doubt what Joe will be discussing today? Clear the decks! This has everything Joe wants to discuss - death, fibre-gades, tragic stories (let's not mention the political connections the owners and runners of the building had, which led to their exoneration - and compensation!!!)
