Michael Kavanagh changed his account of doors after the fire that killed 48 people in 1981
At about 5am he was approached by journalists. He told them the exits were all open. He went on to repeat this “lie” to friends at a GAA club on Sunday 15th and in a Garda statement, made on the 16th.
Bernard Condon SC for families of ten of the dead, asked Mr Kavanagh: “What happened in that intervening period” between telling the O’Tooles the doors were locked and his 5am interview with journalists, “to cause that” change in story.“It might be you are not happy with it. It might be unattractive. It might be embarrassing. So be it ... But surely to god people are entitled to know what changed between 4 o’clock and 5 o’clock that you are pronouncing you opened them.
“What do you want me to say?” asked Mr Kavanagh. “I am telling you what I remember of the night. I did not see and I did not have a conversation with the people you mentioned.”
