Lawyers for survivors of the 1981 Stardust fire have called on the Government for an urgent update on a compensation package for those injured.
They say a redress scheme was committed to last year, and that a lack of clarity on the matter is now causing distress and anger.
In a statement, the Department of Justice said there is no 'undue delay' and work to develop proposals continues to be advanced.
It said the work, which includes considering compensation that was originally awarded in 1985, is due to conclude shortly.
Last August, €24 million in compensation was agreed for the families of the 48 people who died in the St Valentine's Day blaze at the Artane nightclub.
It followed a 40-year campaign by relatives which culminated in fresh inquests delivering verdicts of unlawful killing in April 2024.
The Government said last year that phase two of the redress scheme, dealing with the survivors, would be examined when the compensation for the families of the deceased was complete.
Government must honor 'explicit promise'
Colm Dore, from Phoenix Law Solicitors, which represents those affected, said he has written twice to the Department of Justice seeking an update.
"We're calling on the Government to honor that explicit promise, to make those extra gratia payments, to give some measure of redress to these traumatised people, but in the immediate term, simply to give them some news, some engagement, because in the Taoisech's apology, he talked about how these people were left out in the cold for decades, and yet here they are today, waiting to hear some news as to what the Government's plans are," he said.
One of the tasks of those drawing up any scheme will be to ascertain who is eligible. Estimates suggest over 200 people sustained injuries in the fire.
"At the minute, we receive phone calls on an almost daily basis from people who want to just hear anything from the Government. So the numbers speak for themselves. There are people who are contacting us almost daily basis saying, 'Is there any news?' And sadly, we have to say no," Mr Dore said.
"They find the irony unbearable, because they campaigned along with the bereaved families in order to have these inquests in the first place. Then they went to these inquests, and they relived the most traumatic night of their entire lives... they now find themselves having heard an apology about how long they had to wait for the aforementioned, they now find themselves waiting again to hear any news from the Government as to how they are to be to be treated."
Jimmy Fitzpatrick was one of those badly injured in the fire and almost died.
He suffered third degree burns, smoke inhalation, and spent a significant amount of time in intensive care.
Forty four years on, he is still living with the affects and has regular chest infections, his hands disfigured.
Like others, he received compensation back in the 1980s, but describes it as "pittance".
He said it is frustrating, and it is important for the Government "to see through what they said they'd do".
He also said he never got involved in the campaign for money, pointing out that six of his friends were killed that night.
Mr Fitzpatrick said he just wants the Government to tie up the "loose ends".
"The survivors that were involved just want it to get wrapped up," he said.
"I want the Government to follow through on what they said they were going to do and get the matter settled once and for all."
In a statement, the Department of Justice said work is continuing, and that the Minister will then bring proposals to Government for consideration.
It said the Department will then make the necessary arrangements that may be required.
Those arrangements will include the provision of additional information, including timelines for survivors on what it described as "this important matter".
