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.

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.
