A FLOOR MANAGER who was working at the Stardust told gardaí that when the fire was noticed he heard Eamon Butterly, the manager of the club, say: “The b*st**ds started a fire”, an inquest has been told.
Recounting the situation in the club before the blaze broke out, Kinahan said the patrons were dancing and enjoying themselves. They were orderly and the whole atmosphere was electric, he said. He said when he came back to the hall again the place was “filing up with black smoke” and he shouted to the patrons seated at the sloping area at the back to make their way towards the exit.
He said he then noticed a person crouched under a chair and said with the assistance of a doorman, they dragged this person out and saw it was a girl.
