Death of worker at Dublin Port calls for urgent action

The International Transport Forum (ITF) has joined the Services Industrial Professional and Technical Union (SIPTU) in a call for better protection for all workers in Ireland’s ports following the death of a worker at Dublin Port.

The death of 50-year-old truck driver Nicholas ‘Nick’ Collier marks the seventh death of a worker in an Irish port in the past two years.

Published reports indicate a refrigeration unit was being loaded onto the back of the driver’s truck when Collier was struck and killed by another vehicle.
