The jurors in the Stardust Inquests have said they are ‘very close’ to reaching their verdicts.

The jury is considering verdicts into the deaths of 48 people at the Dublin ballroom in February 1981.

Today marks the tenth day of deliberations for the 12 jurors, made up of seven women and five men.

In all, they have been deliberating for around 35 hours.

The jurors have five verdicts open to them and they also have to fill out a questionnaire into the circumstances of the fire.

They have to reach unanimous decisions.

This morning, the jury foreman told the Dublin Coroner they are putting the final wording together at the moment.

He said they may have a few questions in the afternoon and they have now returned to their deliberations.

That came after Coroner Dr Myra Cullinane asked them whether there were any further matters they needed clarification on.

The inquests have heard over 90 days of evidence.
