It's been confirmed inquests into the Stardust fire in Artane will begin early next year, almost 40 years after the tragedy.

A dedicated website has been set up by the Dublin District Coroner's Court ahead of the review.

48 people died in the blaze at the north Dublin nightclub in the early hours of Valentine's day 1981. It remains the worst fire disaster in the history of the state.

Preparations are underway for the review, with preliminary hearings due to take place at Dublin Castle in the coming months.

Survivors and family members of those who died have long campaigned for a fresh investigation into the cause of the deadly fire.
