On 8 December 2000, Trevor Deely went missing in Dublin. Trevor, a 22-year-old employee of Bank of Ireland Asset Management, had attended a Christmas party that evening. On leaving the party, he stopped off at the bank where he worked and disappeared shortly afterwards. The last sighting of him was at 4:14 a.m. on Haddington Road. The search for Trevor continues. In fairness, his parents, Michael and Ann Deely, his siblings, family, colleagues and friends have put huge effort in over the past 21 years in the search for Trevor. A man dressed in black who had been seen in two pieces of CCTV footage on that night is deemed crucial to the investigation. An Garda Síochána has conducted extensive searches and a wide-ranging investigation, but to no avail. As we approach Christmas, this is a difficult time for the Deely family and for the families of Annie McCarrick, JoJo Dollard, Fiona Pender, Ciara Breen, Fiona Sinnott and Deirdre Jacob. Can the Taoiseach confirm that every effort will be made and that State resources will be used to ensure that the existing investigation will continue in order that, hopefully, some form of closure might be achieved?
