Quick Glance: Stardust: Families Cheer as Verdict Delivered - BBC News

The jury has returned a verdict of unlawful killing for 48 deaths in a nightclub fire. Families cheered as the verdict was delivered.

The jury found that the fire started in the main bar area on February 14, 1981, and was caused by an electrical fault.

Some families welcomed the ruling as justice served, while others called for a public apology from the Irish government.

The Irish Prime Minister referred to the Stardust fire as one of the darkest moments in Irish history and stated that the government will consider the verdict in full.

Veteran journalist Charlie Bird has died aged 74 www.independent.ie/irish-news/veteran-rte-journalist-charlie-bird-dies-aged-74/a1742745119.html

Quick Glance: Charlie Bird reported on major stories in 40-year career

One of Ireland's best-known journalists, Charlie Bird, has passed away at the age of 74 after a public battle with motor neurone disease.

During his 40-year career at RTÉ, Bird reported on some of the biggest stories in Ireland and internationally, including the Stardust fire, the National Irish Bank tax avoidance scandal, the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks in the US, and the 2004 Indian ocean tsunami.

He also became the Provisional IRA’s sole media contact and was often the first to break the news of the many twists and turns in the Northern Ireland peace process.

After being diagnosed with motor neurone disease in October 2021, Bird documented his physical decline and fear of facing death through various media platforms and his 'Climb with Charlie' campaign on Croagh Patrick.
