A group representing the families of those killed in the Stardust disaster is to present evidence to the Taoiseach, within the next two weeks, that the disaster was not the result of arson.
Yesterday was the 25 thanniversary of the disaster in which 48 young people lost their lives in a fire at a niteclub in Artane.
Greg O'Neill, the solicitor representing the Stardust Legal Challenge Committee, told ireland.comthat his group's submission would dispute the Stardust tribunal's conclusion that the cause of the fire was probably arson and started in the west alcove of the niteclub.
He said that there was a bigger "fuel load" for the fire than had been revealed at the tribunal, meaning there was a greater amount of combustible material present. Also, some fire experts were not "au fait" with the building's structure, Mr O'Neill said.
"The were two strands of evidence being presented to the tribunal but unfortunately the fire experts were not au fait with the structure and the structural experts were not au fait with how the fire spread," said Mr O'Neill.
Tonight, RTÉ will broadcast a Prime Timespecial that also disputes the findings of the Stardust tribunal. The programme will focus on similar evidence that the Stardust Legal Challenge Committee will present to Mr Ahern.
Tonight's programme will hear claims that the tribunal misdirected itself on the location of a storeroom which experts say could provide the answer to where and how the fire started.
Chief Fire Officer for Dublin, Tony Gillick will say on the programme: "It's clear that the tribunal misdirected itself in relation to the store position. And also in relation to the contents of the store. Now, if you have the location of the fire wrong and you have the fuel load wrong, you are looking at a totally different fire than what actually happened."
