Bairbre Power: As a young reporter at the 1981 Stardust tribunal, I saw the pain on the faces of survivors and relatives. It was a grim and unrelenting inquiry

There was no easy day listening to the harrowing evidence at the Stardust Tribunal in 1981. It was grim and unrelenting, and if I found it upsetting, I was constantly looking across at the young survivors who came along with the devastated parents and relatives of those who did not make it out of the St Valentine’s disco alive.
