Appeal for help as remains identified

Gardai have identified the man whose dismembered remains were found in the Grand Canal, Celbridge and have issued a further appeal for anyone with information to come forward.

It is understood he told his family that he was working down the country for the day.
At a briefing at Leixlip Garda Station on Tuesday, Superintendent Gerald Ward described O’Brien as a father of one who had worked as a JCB driver and recently returned from Australia.
His dismembered remains were discovered on the afternoon of Saturday, January 16 in a suitcase that had been dumped in the canal, close to the village of Ardclough, Celbridge.
Investigating gardai are asking anyone who was near the canal last Friday or Saturday to come forward with information.
Superintendent Wall also issued an appeal for people who returned to their property or work premises after the weekend break to check for anything unusual. This could include small changes to a room, or equipment that might have been moved.
