Stardust fire: Lawyers to lodge legal action over survivors' compensation

**Summary:**Lawyers representing Stardust nightclub fire survivors plan to sue the Irish government for failing to compensate those injured in the 1981 disaster. Despite families of the deceased receiving €24 million in compensation last year, around 200 survivors are still waiting for phase two of the redress scheme. The government claims there's no undue delay, but survivors like Jimmy Fitzpatrick, who survived the fire and lives with serious health issues, argue that the original compensation was insufficient and they need fair compensation now.
