Cabinet Ministers met remotely this afternoon to discuss the compensation scheme.
The families of each victim of the Stardust families are to get half a million euro in compensation from the State.
Four months ago inquests into the north Dublin fire gave verdicts of unlawful killing for each of the victims.
Cabinet Ministers met remotely this afternoon to discuss the compensation scheme.
In total it is worth 24 million, equating to €500,000 for each of the 48 victims' families.
The fire claimed the lives of the young people at a Valentine's night disco in February 1981.
The redress scheme comes following the unlawful killing verdicts earlier this year as well as a state apology from the Taoiseach Simon Harris.
