Geocache Description:


Tragedy:

The Stardust fire is one of the worst fires Dublin and Ireland has ever seen in modern times.
At 01:41 a.m. on Valentine's Day 1981 in the Stardust Nightclub in Artane (Butterly Business Park, Kilmore Road), while the club was full of people (about 841), inside the building the fire was noticed. It was claimed to have been started by a slashed seat cover allowing a flame to ignite the foam beneath, paper decorations for the Valentine's Night celebrations, causing the entire building to catch fire. In this tragedy 48 people died and 214 were injured.

Because some of the main fire exits turned out to be locked with padlocks and chains, people tried to escape through the men's toilets but the windows there had metal plates fixed on the inside and iron bars on the outside. Seven people died in the toilets while the fire services attempted to rescue them.

It is believed that the fire was caused by arson, what has never been proven.
