"Glas fraincín ar dhoirse Stardust nuair a chuaigh sé trí thine". Evidence was given today at Dublin District Coroner's Court that the doors of Stardust were locked when the nightclub caught fire in 1981. Tugadh fianaise inniu i gCúirt Chróinéara Dhúiche Bhaile Átha Cliath go raibh doirse Stardust faoi ghlas nuair a chuaigh an club oíche trí thine sa mbliain 1981. 48 people were killed in the tragedy. Maraíodh 48 duine sa tragóid. An inquest into the death of the deceased is currently underway at the Rotunda Hospital. Tá ionchoise maidir le bás na marbh ar siúl faoi láthair, in Ospidéal an Rotunda. Michael O'Toole, who was 20 at the time, testified that a Stardust security man told him the doors were padlocked when the club caught fire. Thug Michael O'Toole, a bhí 20 bliain d'aois ag an am, fianaise go ndúirt fear slándála de chuid Stardust leis go raibh glas fraincín ar na doirse nuair a chuaigh an club trí thine. Michael O'Toole testified that the security man - Michael Kavanagh - told him after the incident that he intended to bring a lawsuit: "I'll get everything 'he's got". Thug Michael O'Toole fianaise go ndúirt an fear slándála - Michael Kavanagh - leis i ndiaidh na heachtra go raibh sé i gceist aige cás dlí a thabhairt: "gheobhaidh mé gach a bhfuil 'aige'. They were unable to escape. Ní rabhadar in ann éalú. There was a french lock on the doors", said Michael Kavanagh, according to Michael O'Toole. Bhí glas fraincín ar na doirse", a dúirt Michael Kavanagh, dar le Michael O'Toole. Michael O'Toole was asked if he thought who Michael Kavanagh was referring to when he made that statement. Cuireadh ceist ar Michael O'Toole an raibh barúil aige cén duine a raibh Michael Kavanagh ag tagairt dó nuair a rinne sé an ráiteas sin. Michael O'Toole replied that he was talking about Éamon Butterly, Stardust's manager at the time. D'fhreagair Michael O'Toole gur ar Éamon Butterly, bainisteoir Stardust, a raibh sé ag caint ag an am. Michael O'Toole also testified that Michael Kavanagh told him that he was ashamed that he was working there as a security man. Thug Michael O'Toole fianaise freisin go ndúirt Michael Kavanagh leis go raibh náire air go raibh sé ag obair ansin mar fhear slándála. "We were always told to lock the doors", Michael Kavanagh told Michael O'Toole, he said in his evidence today. "Dúradh linn i gcónaí na doirse a chur faoi ghlas", a dúirt Michael Kavanagh le Michael O'Toole, a dúirt se ina chuid fianaise inniu. Michael Kavanagh told gardai and the media in 1981 that the emergency exits were open when the club caught fire. Dúirt Michael Kavanagh leis na Gardaí agus leis na meáin i 1981 go raibh na bealaí éalaithe éigeandála ar oscailt nuair a chuaigh an club trí thine. But he later retracted the statement. Ach tharraing sé an ráiteas siar ina dhiaidh. Last September, Michael Kavanagh gave evidence directly to the inquest himself. Mí Mheán Fómhair seo caite, thug Michael Kavanagh fianaise go díreach don ionchoise é fhéin. He said that when the tragedy happened, he felt that he was being blamed. Dúirt sé gur nuair a tharla an tragóid, gur bhraith sé go ndearnadh ceap milleáin dó. He testified that after speaking to his father and sister, he went to the Gardaí to change his statement. Thug sé fianaise gur i ndiaidh dó labhairt lena athair agus a dheirfiúr, go ndeachaigh sé chuig na Gardaí lena ráiteas a athrú. An inquest is currently underway into the deaths of those killed in the 1981 Stardust Tragedy.
