IMPACT members and staff were shocked to hear of the tragic killing of Trevor O’Neill earlier this month. Trevor had been a member of IMPACT’s Municipal Employees’ branch since 1999 when he joined the drainage division of Dublin City Council. He worked in various sections, but spent the majority of his years working with the Tide Gate’s Crew out of Marrowbone Lane depot. He was promoted to assistant inspector three years ago.

A victim of mistaken identity, Trevor was shot dead while holidaying with his partner and three children in Majorca.

IMPACT’s Municipal Employees branch convener Thomas Murtagh expressed his shock and sadness at the news. “Members of the Municipal Employees’ branch are shocked at this terrible tragedy. Trevor was described as the life and soul of the Marrowbone Lane depot. His colleagues will miss him greatly. I would like to extend the branch’s condolences to Trevor’s partner Suzanne and their three children,” said Thomas.

IMPACT national secretary Peter Nolan said “I extend the deepest sympathy on behalf of the entire IMPACT community. Our thoughts are with Trevor’s family at this time difficult time.”
