With new legal representation from Belfast firm Phoenix Law for the Stardust families, Attorney General Seamus Woulfe finally announces in 2020 that new inquests should take place. The new hearing finally gets underway in April, 2023, sitting for 122 days over the course of 12 months. The jury would finally deliver an historic unlawful killing verdict on behalf of the Stardust families, ruling that an electrical fault in the hot press caused the blaze. After 43 years, the Irish Government finally issues a State apology to the long-suffering families.
