On this episode of DOUBLE DOWN, Finbar Markey will be speaking to Antoinette Keegan, who survived the Stardust Fire in 1981 but her two sisters tragically lost their lives. Antoinette is going to tell us about that night, but will also tell us the story of her two parents who fought tooth and nail for a proper inquest into the fire and the deaths of so may young lives, an inquest finally announced this year.
We will also be talking to the irrepressible Fintan Dunne on the breaking news of the bulldozing of the grounds of a mother and baby home this week. We will open up the show with a brief look at pharmaceutical companies and in particular two recent scandals that prompts the question “Should we have tighter oversight of the pharmaceutical industry if we are to have public trust in it?”
