It's 42 years since the Stardust nightclub tragedy.

48 people were killed in the fire during a disco in the early hours of Valentine's Day in 1981.

This anniversary is particularly significant as the inquests into their deaths are finally due to get underway in April.

Antoinette Keegan lost two sisters, Mary and Martina, in the fire. She says it's a very difficult time for the families;

''It is difficult, Every year has been very difficult for us all. But more importantly the inquests are starting in April and we have finally gotten what we've been looking for for 41 years,'' she said.

We have been very patient. We have been very dignified. For what we've gone through, all the families, we're not happy but we're satisfied we are going to get answers this time and we are going to get the truth and justice.''
