Survivors of the Stardust fire will be eligible for a recognition payment.
The Justice Minister has announced the scheme, with those injured in the fire eligible for up to €20,000.
48 young people died in the disaster, their deaths were ruled unlawful killing at the 2024 inquest.
In a statement released this afternoon, Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan said: "I am very conscious that the 45th anniversary of the Stardust tragedy is imminent.
"This will fulfil the Government’s commitment to implement a two-phased approach to Stardust redress. Payments in respect of Phase One of the redress, for the families of those so tragically killed in the fire, were completed in August last year. Phase Two, which I am announcing today, will provide for ex gratia recognition to all survivor beneficiaries of the original Stardust Victims Compensation Tribunal."
