The younger brother of a victim of the Stardust has said the way the aftermath of the disaster was dealt with was an insult to everyone who died and their families.
David Morton, from Artane in Dublin, was 19 years old when he was killed in the 1981 fire.
Today, Alan Morton told the inquest that the "whole thing was just pushed under the carpet" and said the way it was handled was wrong and could have been avoided.
In emotional testimony, he described his brother as charismatic, outgoing and confident, who loved socialising.
He was "a handsome devil and knew it", he said.
Mr Morton told the inquest that he still recalls the night of the fire, as David was getting ready.
"I still remember him that night, getting ready and preening himself. I looked up to him and wanted to be as cool as he was. I wanted the clothes and the aftershave," he said.
He told the inquest how his brother was identified by jewellery - a Star of David necklace.
His brother's death "destroyed his parents", both struggled to cope, he said.
His mother suffered from depression and he said he believed he did too. He said his dad never recovered either.
"A pint was his way of trying to deal with it all," he said.
He said he wished the tragic events never happened and said he wanted all those who died to be remembered.
He ended his testimony by saying: "We can’t change our past, but we should... learn to accept that the way this was handled was wrong and could have been avoided."
Mr Morton's contribution was met with applause.
Kathleen is remembered every day, says brother
A brother of Kathleen Muldoon, who was killed in the fire, has described how life changed for everyone in their house in the aftermath of the disaster.
Hugh Muldoon told the inquest that it was "nerve-wrecking" for his parents anytime their children would subsequently go out anywhere.
He said they "would be waiting for you to come home in anticipation".
He described his sister, who was the eldest of ten, as very good-natured who loved football and music.
Originally from Carnaross, Kells, Co Meath, he said Kathleen had moved to Dublin to pursue a career in nursing.
He said the gardaí got in contact with the family when they found Kathleen's car and she could not be found.
He said that Kathleen is remembered every day by his family.
He also told the inquest that they want the truth to come so that the deceased and the families can rest.
'His first dance was to be his last'
The sister of 17-year-old George O'Connor who died in the fire, told the inquest that the dance that night was the first and last one he ever attended.
Donna O’Connor, described her brother as quiet and reserved and said that his workmates in Superquinn encouraged him to come out of his shell and start to socialise.
"Sadly, the first dance he ever went to was also to be his last," she said.
Ms O’Connor said that she adored her brother and said he was her best friend.
He was a huge science fiction fan, she added, and the family still have a notebook of his drawings.
She said that her memories of George have faded over the years, but she can still remember his getting ready for the Stardust that night.
"Me critiquing his outfit and telling him no girl would ask him to dance dressed like he was," she said.
In the aftermath of the fire, she told of how her brother was identified by his clothes.
"The same outfit [what was left of it] I had mocked just a few hours before," she said.
Ms O’Connor also spoke about the effect it had on her. She said that for 10 years, she could not be around people if they started talking about George.
She said she wonders what life he would have made for himself and said he is missed very single day.
Ms O’Connor said there are two things that change in you in life - love and grief and she said there is no closure to grief.
