Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 1 May 2014
145. Deputy Finian McGrath asked the Minister for Justice and Equality if he will provide an update on the new evidence submitted by the Stardust fire families; if he will act on this urgent matter; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19779/14]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware, members of the Stardust Victims Committee have circulated a wide range of material concerning this case in recent months, and as I have previously indicated, I have not seen anything in that correspondence that would be grounds for my taking a different view to the conclusions set out in the Independent Examination which examined this matter. I am aware that members of the Committee met recently with An Garda Síochána and were requested to furnish any material they considered to be new evidence.
I understand that such material has to date not been received by An Garda Síochána but that it will be considered fully when it is made available.
