An inquest into the tragedy will take place in April.
Earlier this month, Dublin City Coroner Dr. Myra Cullinane refused an attempt made by Stardust's former manager Eamom Butterly to exclude unlawful killing as a potential verdict in an upcoming inquest into the tragedy.
According to The Independent, Mr. Butterly's legal team argued that if the jury reached the verdict of unlawful killing, he could face allegations of civil or criminal liability.
Countering this, Dr. Cullinane said: "It is not appropriate for a coroner to rule out any verdict, on the grounds that it is not possible to know definitively what evidence may be called or what findings may be made on foot of that evidence.
"It is only after this evidence has been heard that an inquest…will ‘make findings’ and consider the appropriate verdicts arising from the evidence that has been heard."
