ALMOST a year to the day since the inquests began into the deaths of 48 people in the Stardust tragedy, the jury in the landmark case will deliver their verdicts this afternoon (Thursday).

More than 90 days of evidence and testimony from 373 witnesses have been heard at the inquiry into the deaths of the 48 young people, aged from just 16 to 27.

The devastating fire happened in the north Dublin ballroom in the early hours of February 14, 1981.

Sean Reinhardt, who lives in Waterford, was there that night.

He survived the fire but was amongst 200 people injured.

Sean was left with severe burns - and also lost good friends in the tragedy.

This morning, as the country awaited the verdicts outcome, Sean came into the 'Deise Today' studio to talk to Damien.
