The Journal

Stardust is a six-part series from The Journal that delves into one of the worst tragedies in the history of the Irish State. At a Valentine's disco in 1981, 48 young people died and more than 200 people were injured after a fire in Dublin's Stardust nightclub.

  • Brilliant

    This is a brilliant podcast series - it’s so engaging and heartbreaking. As others have said, it really emphasises the class differences, the trauma to those areas, and the pain for the families. I’m listening before the results of the inquest and hope there will be an update.

  • Too much music

    The topic is interesting but the background music, only included in an unnecessary attempt to up the intensity, makes listening to this nearly impossible.

    It’s time for the families and friends of the victims to receive the justice they deserve. This podcast is one of the most comprehensive ones available anywhere on the internet. Well worth listening because whilst nobody in the country will be going out on February 13th 2021 , just think of the 48 who went out on the same night in 1981 and who never came home.
