Catherine Connolly (Galway West, Independent) | Oireachtas source

We now proceed to statements of acknowledgement and apology to the families and to the victims of the Stardust tragedy. Before calling on the Taoiseach, on behalf of all of us, I acknowledge the presence here today of the families of the 48 victims of the Stardust fire. They are seated in the Public Gallery and the Distinguished Visitors Gallery. Today's proceedings mark, put at its mildest, an important milestone in their campaign on behalf of their loved ones. I just want to say céad míle fáilte romhaibh go léir.
