Bring peace to Trevor’s family

-

THE tormented family of Trevor Deely yesterday marked the 19th anniversar­y of his disappeara­nce.

He vanished after he attended his work Christmas party at the Hilton Hotel in Dublin.

The family of the then 22-year-old Bank of Ireland employee has said they are realistic about what might have happened but still hold onto the hope he is still alive.

Gardai say any informatio­n, no matter how insignific­ant it seems, would be a huge help.

Let’s hope that someone comes forward to provide the family with real answers so they can find some sort of peace after all these years.

IRELAND has two theme parks – Tayto Park and Dublin City Centre. And the management of the one on the Liffey are having trouble with “the staff ”.

You see, the persky natives hit on a way of helping the 4,300 adults and 2,800 children without a home in our capital.

They started hanging coats off the railings of the iconic Ha’penny Bridge.

This hasn’t gone down well with theme park management at all.

It’s hardly the sort of thing they want the precious tourists or the internatio­nal media seeing.

Bad enough they have to step over children being fed by charities on Grafton Street on their way to their hotels.

Showing the kind of rapid reaction Dublin City Council has not exactly been legendary for in the past, our city fathers stepped in within 24 hours of the story getting out to demand Dubliners stop leaving coats for homeless people.

They even started removing them – not 24 hours before Storm Atyiah was due to make life for anybody out of doors very difficult.

How dare you Dubs put out warm clothes for the homeless. In the middle of winter. Two weeks before Christmas.

Down with this sort of thing and ho, ho, bleedin’ ho.

The council says it’s a “health and safety matter” which would be hilarious if it wasn’t so fecking cynical and transparen­t. This is about the optics, the PR.

They don’t want to see pictures, stories and video news showing one of Dublin’s great landmarks being draped in warm coats for homeless people.

They don’t want the BBC and CNN doing a story about this.
