The Stardust inquests have heard more evidence of how the victims died and how their remains were formally identified.
In all, 48 people were killed when a fire swept through the Artane nightclub in the early hours of 14 February 1981.
These fresh inquests into deaths, which began last April, are continuing to hear from expert consultant pathologists into the causes of the deaths and the processes which were used to identify the remains.
Today the court heard about the McDermotts. Marcella, 16, George, 18 and William, 22.
All siblings, all attended the Stardust that night, and all died.
The three had gone to the disco with their friends but had met up together throughout the evening.
The court heard that George McDermott was identified by the clothes he had been wearing and how there was soot present in his airways which showed he had breathed in fumes from the fire.
Marcella McDermott's remains were identified through dental records.
The jury was told she was last seen alive as she headed towards Exit 3 after the outbreak of the fire.
The court was told her body suffered significant damage caused by the heat of the fire.
William McDermott’s remains were formally identified in the Dublin city morgue by his uncle.
He had been taken to the Mater Hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after the fire.
It was noted that he had "superficial" burns.
He died from inhalation from fire fumes the court heard.
The cause of death for George and Marcella was given as rapid incapacitation due to inhalation of fire fumes, and heat.
Barrister for the McDermotts, Michael O’Higgins SC, said it was hard to conceive the enormity the disaster had on the family and said it cannot be accurately measured.
The court heard that 18-year-old Michael Griffiths' remains were identified by his father from the jewellery he had been wearing, including a chain with 'Mick’ engraved on it.
The inquests heard how Mr Griffiths had gone to the Stardust that night with friends and was last seen alive dancing on the dancefloor close to the stage and Exit 5.
The jury was told that dense soot was found in the teenager’s airways, which indicated he had inhaled quantities of contaminated air.
Des Fahy, KC, representing the Griffiths’ family said Mr Griffiths has been missed "every day since the fire".
His cause of death was given as rapid incapacitation due to inhalation of fire fumes and heat.
The court also heard that the remains of 20-year-old Robert Hillick were formally identified in the Dublin city morgue two days after the fire by his brother who recognised Mr Hillick’s watch.
Mr Hillick had gone to the Stardust that night with his friend, James Millar, 20, who also died in the fire. Their exact location in the club when the fire first became visible is unrecorded.
Both were originally from Belfast and had been living in Dublin.
Forensic consultant pathologist Dr Richard Shepherd agreed with Simon Mills, SC, for the inquests, that there was significant evidence of exposure of Mr Hillick's body to heat and that it was difficult to be certain whether particular burning happened either before or after death.
The court heard how the 20-year-old had inhaled "significant" quantities of toxic materials and there was evidence of thick soot in his airways.
The remains of Mr Millar were identified by his friend from the watch he had been wearing.
Paula Lewis was 19 when she was died in the fire. The court heard today that her remains were identified by her uncle from her clothing and jewellery.
She was last seen alive as she made her way towards exit five. She had been holding hands with her friend before they became separated and "lost each other".
Ms Lewis had been in the Stardust that night with Sandra Lawless, who also lost her life in the blaze.
Des Fahy, KC, representing the Lewis family, said there had been a "succession of civilian witnesses" who have given evidence of their inability to leave through exit five and who described the panic around the doors.
He also said that Ms Lewis had just turned 19 and said the grief visited upon the family was horrendous.
Ms Lewis’ death was given as rapid incapacitation due to inhalation of fire fumes and heat.
The inquests heard that the remains of 18-year-old Eamonn Loughman were only confirmed from DNA testing, decades after the fire, in 2007.
He was last seen alive, after the fire became visible, as he ran across the tables towards exit five.
Brenda Campbell, KC, representing the Loughman family, said a reasonable inference was that he got very close to exit five before succumbing to the fumes.
She also said that Mr Loughman was the eldest of seven children and that he was the third child his parents had lost.
The inquests heard the level of carbon monoxide found in his blood showed he inhaled a "significant" amount of the gas and that he would have lost consciousness "rapidly".
His cause of death was given as inhalation of fire fumes.
The court heard that the remains of 21-year-old Gerard McGrath were identified through dental records.
He was last seen alive in club around midnight and was believed to be there with his friend, Kathleen Muldoon who also died in the fire.
It was noted that there was "thick soot" in Mr McGrath's airways and the cause of death was read in court as being rapid incapacitation due to inhalation of fire fumes, and heat.
Susan Morgan, originally from Derry, was 19 when she was killed in the disaster.
A nun and a friend identified her remains by the clothes and by the jewellery she was wearing.
She was at the Stardust with her friends and her boyfriend, Paul Wade who also died.
She was last seen alive in the club sitting at the table with him.
The cause of her death was read into the record as rapid incapacitation due to inhalation of fire fumes, and heat.
The court heard how Donna Mahon's remains were identified at the Dublin city morgue by her sister from the bracelet she had given her and was wearing on the night.
The 17-year-old was last seen in the foyer of the club near the main exit.
Her cause of death was given as rapid incapacitation due to inhalation of fire fumes, and heat.
The inquests also heard today that Teresa McDonnell’s remains were identified by her father in the morgue after he was shown her belongings, including a white shoe with a burnt heel.
The 16-year-old was last seen heading to the main exit before turning back into the ballroom for her sister who was also at the club that night.
The court heard there was much evidence of soot in her airways and the cause of the death was given as rapid incapacitation due to inhalation of fire fumes, and heat.
The inquests continue tomorrow.
