Mr Deely died peacefully on August 1st at a nursing home in Maynooth. 

The removal will take place at the Church of Our Lady and St. David in Naas, Co Kildare at 10am. 

The funeral will take place immediately after at St Corban’s Cemetery. 

Disappearance of Trevor Deely

Mr Deely’s son Trevor went missing from Dublin city centre in the early hours of December 8th, 2000, at the age of 22. 

He was last seen on CCTV in the early hours of the morning after attending a work Christmas party. 

At 3.35am, Trevor called to his place of work - Bank of Ireland Asset Management Offices at Fitzwilliam Place - where CCTV footage of the rear entrance showed an unknown man talking with Trevor at the back gate. 

Trevor was last seen on CCTV passing a Bank of Ireland ATM on Haddington Road at 4.14am. 

Some 31 seconds later, a man was captured on CCTV walking in the same direction as Trevor. 

In December 2023, Gardaí interviewed the man caught on CCTV. 

Mark Deely said they discovered there was “nothing sinister” involved in the man’s movements on the night Trevor went missing. 

In May 2016, a review and re-investigation into his disappearance began at Pearse Street Garda station. 

To date, 876 jobs have been created and addressed by the Review Team. 

Over the years, Trevor’s family have issued several appeals for anyone with information to come forward. 

His sister Michele previously told Newstalk the family has kept trying different ways to find Trevor but they keep 'coming up blank'. 

"We've done a huge amount of work... but all that work, in a way, is coming to haunt us - it's really becoming a very difficult item for the family when we think about speculation." 

She noted online speculation surrounding her brother’s disappearance needs to “come down several notches”.
