Ban on my Stardust song a victory . . .says Moore
Fiona Looney



MORE than 20 years after the High Court banned his song about the Stardust tragedy, Christy Moore has claimed that the judgement was a victory for the relatives of the people who died in the fire.

"I think that it probably was a good thing from the point of view of what went on at the time, " he told the Sunday Tribune. "I think it did re-focus, in some oblique way, on the injustice that the families faced."

Recordings of Moore's song, 'They Never Came Home', were ordered to be withdrawn in August 1985. "I came away with very little regard for the process, " he says. "Children were dead, families were torn apart and nobody was giving them answers. You'd have imagined that these people would have had better things to concern themselves with."
