Victims of the Stardust nightclub tragedy were remembered at a memorial mass today.
In 1981 a fire ripped through the building claiming the lives of 48 people.
The Archbishop of Dublin Dermot Farrell led prayers during the service, live streamed from Bonnybrook parish.
Preparations have started for fresh inquests into the deaths at Dublin District Coroner’s Court, with a ruling that they will begin with a “pen portrait” of each of the deceased.
This will give families the chance to describe their loved ones.
Archbishop Farrell said: “Who could fail to be moved by the suffering, the weight of hurts and memories – festering for 40 years now – of the families who lost 48 loved ones in the Stardust disaster, and of the more than 200 who were injured?
”So many families have endured enormous suffering and today are re-living the horror of that night which is seared into the hearts and memories of a generation.
“The lives of so many have been blighted by the loss of those young people.
“That grievous loss has been compounded by their long quest for a full account of the tragedy that satisfies their need for truth.”
