The family of Matthew Grimes, a 19-year-old killed in a 2021 workplace accident at Dublin Port, has been told there is no meaningful progress on criminal charges, as the case remains pending with the Director of Public Prosecutions. The Health and Safety Authority is awaiting final instructions after referring the investigation in August 2024. A Dublin District Coroner’s Court granted a six-month adjournment, setting the next hearing for June 4, 2026. The teenager died from crush injuries during a machinery incident at Doyle Shipping Group. His mother testified about being notified while working and witnessing her son’s critical condition, with paramedics attempting resuscitation for over an hour.
