With the recent tragic death of our two colleagues in a fire in Bray and the death of our collegue Micheal Liston last year while dealing with a road traffic accident l have decided to add a new page to the site to have a permanent reminder of those people who have given their lives while carrying out their jobs.

l have just started the page so any help in compling the information would be most grateful.
