A total of 48 people died in the fire that engulfed the Stardust nightclub in Artane in the early hours of February 14, 1981.
Photographer Eamon Farrell captured these rare colour images (black and white photography being the standard for press work at the time) in the aftermath of the tragedy.
The gallery, which includes scenes from outside the city morgue, begins in the RDS, as news of what has happened reaches delegates attending the Fianna Fail Ard Fheis.

Outtakes and unused scenes from the unbelievably cute Superbowl ad for the VW Passat featuring a pint-sized Darth Vader learning to use the Force.
If anything, this one’s better than the original.

Irish Election Literature Blog
As an obscenely wealthy man I am often asked by ordinary people: what would you do to help make Ireland great again?
I usually reply: “Put rich guys in the cabinet. Now give me a seven iron.”
This is no time for democracy. This is a time for wealthy, unelected people to be given their say over how we should be governed.
People will say: but you’re a Gibraltar-based tax exile who divides his time between homes in London, Marbella and Sandy Lane hotel in Barbados. Your Dublin properties include a house on Ailesbury Road and a Georgian mansion in Merrion Square. You play golf with Tiger Woods. You have a fantastically silly moustache. You are called the Kaiser.
What do you know about the needs of the average citizen?
My answer: “I don’t. Now get off my land before I set the dogs on you.”
Anyway, my thoughts are not concerned with the average citizen. The system is broken. The whole ‘voting for people thing’ is not working.
All we end up with is ordinary people obsessed with secrecy. Enough, say I.
This country is crying out for extraordinary people obsessed with secrecy.
Now if you don’t mind I need to spend some time with my money.
