Counselling services have been in put in place for those impacted by the Stardust disaster.
The move follows discussions between officials in the Taoiseach's office and legal teams representing families of the 48 victims.
In a message sent to the families tonight, legal representatives have described the decision as a "massive development" and one they warmly welcome.
In a statement, the families’ solicitor Darragh Mackin said this is the first time they have been provided with the necessary support to accompany them "on this deeply traumatic journey".
He said that the relatives had told Taoiseach Simon Harris last weekend how they had been "left out in the cold having to fend for themselves without any support or counselling services".
He said the Taoiseach has now acted and should be commended for acting with decisiveness.
It is understood the HSE has established a dedicated helpline which will direct people to appropriate supports.
Telephone counselling will also be provided.
Taoiseach to write 'personal' letter of apology
Earlier, Mr Harris said he will write a "personal" letter of apology to Stardust families in the aftermath of his State apology in the Dáil.
Speaking at Government Buildings this morning, the Taoiseach said he will write to families in the coming days to express his remorse for what happened.
He said he intends to also outline counselling supports for those affected, and repeated his desire for a national day of commemoration for the Stardust fire, once a "suitable" way of commemorating what happened is decided.
The Taoiseach declined to comment on the possibility of a criminal case being taken in the aftermath of last week's inquest rulings.
Minister for Finance Michael McGrath has said it is appropriate that there will be a redress scheme for the families of Stardust victims, along with a commemoration for victims.
He said that everything will be done in consultation with the families who have "too long been left out in the cold".
Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, Mr McGrath said redress is not a priority for the families, but that he feels that such a scheme is appropriate.
He said the Government will give it priority because for many family members "time is not on their side".
He said the Government will prioritise efforts to ensure the coroner's recommendations, a commemoration and a redress scheme are implemented.
However, Mr McGrath warned against putting a timeline on the work and giving commitments that cannot ultimately be delivered on. There has been too much of that in the past, he said.
Apology reaction
Speaking on the same programme, Stardust survivor and campaigner Antoinette Keegan said she does not accept apologies from TDs Seán Haughey and Richard Bruton, who spoke in the Dáil after the State apology over the disaster.
Fianna Fáil TD Seán Haughey, whose father Charles was Taoiseach at the time of the fire, told the Dáil he had a "fraught" relationship with the Stardust committee.
"I genuinely believe that I consistently followed up any issue that the [Stardust] committee asked me to do. I raised various matters in the Dáil, I wrote to the relevant Ministers as requested.
"But if I'm honest though, this was not enough," Mr Haughey said.
He added: "I also admit that my relations with the committee were at times fraught and I do regret that.
"I admit too that when Pat McCartan issued his finding in 2017, to the effect that no new inquiry was warranted, I could not see how the case could be advanced further.
"So, the decision to seek new inquests was an inspired one and I am in awe of the persistence of the families in that dark time to continue the fight."
