The Stardust Victims' Committee is expected to hand in over 1,000 signatures objecting to the opening of a public house on the grounds of the Stardust nightclub as part of court proceedings tomorrow.
The licence for the new Silver Swan pub, to which Stardust families have continually protested, will be transferred from the owners of the Stardust nightclub to new management in Dublin District Court.
The pub, which was due to open on the 25th anniversary of the Stardust fire disaster last month, will be transferred from the name of Patrick Butterly and Sons Ltd into the name of Jason Gamble.
Antoinette Keegan, a spokesperson for the Stardust Victims' Committee said that the committee would be objecting to the opening of the bar regardless of whose name was on the licence.
"Hundreds of people have been signing our petition which objects to the Silver Swan pub ever being opened.
"We want to see a memorial on the site where 48 people died and for it not to be used as a profit-making enterprise," said Ms Keegan.
Since February 14th last month, Stardust survivors, bereaved families and locals have protested outside the Silver Swan on a daily basis in an effort to highlight their objection to the opening of a bar on the site of the Stardust nightclub.
They have previously described as "insensitive" the decision to name the new bar as the Silver Swan, which was the name of the original bar adjoining the Stardust nightclub in which 48 people died.
The Silver Swan pub, which was refurnished to replace Skelley's Lounge, has remained closed since the protests began. Last November, the bar licence for the Silver Swan pub was transferred into the name of Patrick Butterly and Sons Ltd, who were the owners of the Stardust nightclub.
Bereaved relatives such as Jimmy Dunne, whose son Liam died following the Stardust fire, are to attend the court hearing tomorrow and hope to mount an objection to the approval of a licence.
