Gavin Grills, 26, from Faughart, near Dundalk, Co Louth, died after being struck by a cargo container during a loading operation at about 8.20am near the North Wall. Mr Grills had driven to the port to load a container-laden trailer, which had arrived earlier yesterday morning on board the Irish Ferries roll-on, roll-off vessel, Ulysses from Holyhead.

The trailer was unloaded off the ship by Irish Ferries' personnel and left for collection in the company's container depot.
