It is almost seven years since three teenagers went to a St Patrick's night disco in County Tyrone and did not come home.

Morgan Barnard, 17, Connor Currie, 16 and Lauren Bullock, 17, died in a crowd crush involving hundreds of young people outside the Greenvale Hotel in Cookstown in March 2019.

Their families say that delays in the legal system have been like a ‘second trauma’.

Morgan's dad Jimmy, and Connor's dad Eamonn have been speaking to Tara and Declan for today's episode of The State of Us.
