The Last Disco: The Stardust was the place to be for young people. Tragedy would take their lives
The remains of the Stardust nightclub in Artane, North Dublin, after the fatal fire that engulfed the venue on the night of February 14, 1981.
Sometimes people are surprised when they hear that the Stardust building is still standing. Most of the exterior was unaffected by the fire; it was the interior and the roof of the ballroom section that were devastated and had to be rebuilt.
Now it’s part of a large business park, with a Lidl and a Mr Price and an Asian supermarket all surrounding it and Artane Castle Shopping Centre right opposite.
