Airport admits safety failures in court after worker's death
Glasgow Prestwick Airport Ltd admitted to failing to ensure that work equipment was maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair, ultimately leading to Joseph Dempsey's death on January 11, 2023. The 59-year-old dad-of-two, known as Joe, had been employed as a ground handling operative and died after suffering serious injuries when he fell around 10 feet onto the tarmac from a loading platform. Joe Dempsey (Image: Facebook) Ayr Sheriff Court heard that Mr Dempsey had raised concerns with colleagues moments before the tragic accident that a guardrail had not been in the correct position. A Crown prosecutor told the hearing: "Joseph, known as Joe, Dempsey was aged 59. He was widowed and a father to an adult son and daughter. He worked as a ground handling operative for over 15 years. "The incident occurred on Apron Alpha, one of several aircraft parking aprons at the airport; large areas of airport tarmac with numbered aircraft parking positions known as stands, for boarding/deboarding passengers and loading or unloading cargo. "The platform is part of a Trepel 'Champ 300' pallet container loader, manufactured by Trepel Airport Equipment, sold as new to Prestwick Airport in 2005. The loader is one of three in operation at the airport for cargo pallets and containers. "Mr Dempsey had previously been trained in the operation of a variety of airport equipment and was fully trained. "On Wednesday, January 11, 2023, Mr Dempsey started his shift at 7am. He was due to work until 5pm. At approximately 11.45am a scheduled Boeing 747-8F cargo aircraft operated by Cargolux pulled in after landing. "The large, wide-bodied aircraft visits several times a week. Prestwick Airport (Image: Wikimedia Commons) "Mr Dempsey drove the loader platform slowly to the open cargo hold and raised the front platform. Once in position with stabilisers deployed, Mr Dempsey was joined by two other airport operatives to assist unloading. "He attempted to extend the front left guardrail manually, stating to his colleague that it was not in the right position. Whilst Mr Dempsey was attempting to extend the guardrail it suddenly gave way. "He fell forwards from the platform to the tarmac, approximately 10 feet below, landing on his left side." The court heard that co-workers "immediately went to his assistance". However, Mr Dempsey was observed to have sustained a serious head injury. He was given CPR and life support by emergency services, but sadly, efforts to revive him proved unsuccessful. The procurator fiscal depute said he was pronounced dead around an hour later. A subsequent investigation by the Health and Safety Executive identified failings on the part of Glasgow Prestwick Airport, with regard to the inspection and maintenance of the loading platform and the related failure of part of the guardrail which gave way due to significant corrosion. A post-mortem confirmed the cause of Mr Dempsey's death to be head and chest injuries due to a fall from height. There were "visible signs of significant corrosion and discoloured flaking white paint around the area of failure" post-accident, upon the tubular guardrail post and support. The bolt securing the fractured front guardrail post to the post support appeared to be new in comparison to the securing bolt. The Crown narration added: "That bolt showed signs of corrosion and the rear post, while intact, showed areas of flaking paint exposing bare metal and included an area of welding in the same areas where the failure occurred in the front post. "The two welded sections were not a design feature of the original guardrail manufactured by Trepel. It is therefore considered likely that the incident guardrail had been modified or repaired while under the ownership of Prestwick Airport. "The welds on both front and rear post contained defects such as lack of fusion, incomplete weld penetration and the presence of large voids. Cracks and open defects would enable ingress of moisture creating a corrosive environment accelerating degradation. "The most significant loss due to corrosion was found on internal surfaces of the top sections of tubing above the weld on both front and rear posts of the guardrail. Forty per cent material loss created significant weakening in the critical area, due to bending stresses. "The same location showed cracking and peeling of the paint as well as corrosion of the external surface, which should have warranted a focused inspection or replacement." Glasgow Prestwick Airport Limited's defence solicitor told the court they had cooperated fully with investigations, were "entirely contrite" and had since updated health and safety procedures. It was stated in court that the company recorded a £50 million turnover for the year ending March 31, 2024. Sheriff Mhari MacTaggart decided to defer sentencing until a later date to give the "important matter serious consideration". Prestwick Airport has been approached for comment.

Eddie Dempsey on why Britain needs a trade union revival
Eddie Dempsey, photographed by David Sandison for the New Statesman In a quiet corner of King's Cross, London, is a small pocket of an old world. The office of the Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers' Union (RMT) is a time capsule for the 20th-century left. Appropriately, the building stands opposite an interwar housing estate based on Vienna's Karl-Marx-Hof, an icon of the faded tradition of municipal socialism. (Just down the road is a blue-plaqued building where Lenin once resided.) At the reception in the RMT's Unity House lies a pile of copies of the Communist Party-affiliated Morning Star. Its corridors and rooms are adorned with left-wing, proletarian nostalgia: hammer and sickle coasters, strike memorial badges, gifts from comrade brothers in the Teamsters, and busts of heroic dead leftists. But the RMT is still very much alive – growing, in fact, despite the general decline of trade union membership in the Britain that Thatcher built. The union has a reputation for political and industrial militancy, provoking frothing editorials from the press for its ability to periodically bring the capital to a halt. But it can also claim credit for securing decent, liveable London salaries for its members – a rare thing in today's world. I was at the RMT's office to meet Eddie Dempsey, who became its general secretary earlier this year after Mick Lynch retired. During his tenure, Lynch was renowned for his blunt put-downs of hapless, confused junior ministers and calm eviscerations of Partridge-esque breakfast television presenters. Dempsey welcomed me with a comically firm handshake. At 43 he is baby-faced, but embodies the old-school London pie-and-mash bloke, somewhere between the former Apprentice contestant Thomas Skinner and Arthur Scargill. He pointed to a wall of black and white photographs behind him in the grand meeting room, depicting a century of the union's leadership. 'I'm the 18th, by the way,' he told me. 'He retired; he retired; he died; he died; he was sacked; he died.' You got the sense that he was doing a bit. He paused on one photo: 'Him up there, he got pancaked. Flattened by an articulated lorry. In Stalingrad, no less.' After our interview, I looked this up. One Jimmy Campbell, a former RMT general secretary, did indeed die in Stalingrad – not in the bloody Second World War battle, of course, but in a car accident during a visit to the Soviet Union in 1957. This gives some clue as to the union's historic political proclivities, which are still very much apparent. 'My politics are pretty straightforward,' Dempsey said. 'I want to see people being able to work and have a good standard of living. I want them to have public services that educate you, look after you when you're sick, and give you retirement in dignity. I want to rebuild communities and rebuild a sense of shared responsibility. And I want a world that lives in peace.' But Dempsey's politics haven't always been so straightforward and anodyne. He is fervently pro-Brexit; in some liberal-left circles that's enough to place you beyond the realm of political acceptability. The RMT stood out among a Remain-orientated labour movement for its opposition to EU membership (not least because of the bloc's restrictions on state interventions and public ownership). In Dempsey's world-view, there is some crossover with the ideological hinterland of the Corbyn project – the harder-edged, workerist, industrial wing, rather than the putative 'kinder, gentler' crowd that mixed a more middle-class, hippyish aesthetic with links to foreign jihadis. The Labour left, Dempsey told me, 'went wrong going into the 2019 election with an incoherent policy on Brexit'. A full-blooded 'Lexit' position would have rescued Labour's fraying connection with working-class Leave voters, he contended – a view that was shared by several senior figures in Corbyn's office at the time. Subscribe to The New Statesman today from only £8.99 per month Subscribe More controversially, in 2015 Dempsey visited the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine and was pictured with pro-Russian separatists. He told me this was 'part of a humanitarian visit' prompted by the deaths of trade unionists at the hands of ultra-nationalists in Odesa the previous year. Nevertheless, as head of one of the most visible, public-facing organisations in the British labour movement, at a time of ongoing war in Ukraine, Dempsey may find this episode is not easily forgotten. Eddie Dempsey was born in 1982 in south London to Irish parents. He grew up on New Cross's Woodpecker Estate, before starting work on the railways in his twenties. I tell him I lived in New Cross for nearly a decade and we share our appreciation for the Marquis of Granby pub on New Cross Road. 'I grew up in that pub really,' he said. 'I'm going to be having my father's wake in there next week.' The Granby hosts a mixed crowd of working-class, established locals and student pretenders – art-school hipsters and earnest humanities undergrads – from nearby Goldsmiths, University of London. If the contemporary left has become associated with the post-2008 wave of 'millennial socialism' backed by this kind of progressive-liberal graduate class, then Dempsey – like Lynch and the late Bob Crow before him – represents something older: a throwback to an era when left politics was spearheaded by blue-collar trade union firebrands. A friend familiar with the culture of RMT describes it as 'a madhouse' – a strange place where balding cockneys of a certain vintage can discuss the differences between a Bolshevik and a Menshevik, a Tankie or a Trot. Movement leaders such as Lynch and Crow were informed less by the academy, the professoriate or social media platforms, and more by workplace organising. Dempsey is no different. 'I was a union rep within six months,' he said of his early days in the workplace. 'I became embroiled in union activity from day one. So I didn't really get into politics as such, I got involved in trade unionism, which then becomes political as you progress.' His father was a deep-sea sailor. 'The dock shut in '81. A lot of people were laid off,' he said. The recent history of London's former docklands is an apt microcosm of the British economy as a whole over the past half century. Amid chronic unemployment, closed ports were declared an enterprise zone, deregulated banks were lured to invest with tax breaks, and swathes of working-class east London was redeveloped into the global financial centre that's now Canary Wharf. Dempsey, a proud south Londoner, interprets this as a story of decline rather than regeneration. 'In my father's day, when he went to sea, a lot of workplaces were closed shops,' he said. 'Everyone was in a union. You couldn't get on the dock without being in the union. Life was better in some ways. Your wages could pay for things that you wanted. You could buy a house if you had a normal job. You could take a holiday. You could buy a car. Employment was secure. A lot of people can't do these things now.' The ultimate prize for RMT's new general secretary would be a 21st-century version of this postwar era of security: the end of the five-decade experiment in neoliberalism, the restoration of corporatist labour relations, and the pursuit of a more statist economic strategy. The means and method to achieving this, Dempsey said, is securing Scandinavian-style, nationwide, sectoral collective bargaining. 'At one stage, about 80 per cent of contracts of employment in Britain were covered by these kinds of agreements,' he told me. 'Now it's about a quarter, and the result has been stark: declining living standards, and a massive shift in power away from working-class people. So we're determined that the trade union movement demands it's restored. The future depends on it.' The Labour Party, for its part, has committed to introducing such a system in social care, with unions negotiating pay and conditions with representatives of employers across the industry nationwide. But it's unclear whether this will be replicated in other sectors. 'This government has made some important steps in the right direction,' Dempsey said, not just on employment rights, but also on some long-time, totemic demands of the British left, such as the nationalisation of the railways. And yet, all the political momentum today is with the populist right. The union man's Championship team, Millwall FC, are known (among other things) for a terrace chant, sung to the tune of Rod Stewart's 'Sailing': 'No one likes us, we don't care.' It's a mantra that could just easily have been adopted by sections of the progressive-activist class militantly pushing causes that have little or no resonance with the wider public. 'Our political culture has been focused on the things that divide us for too long,' Dempsey said. In 2019, during the interminable Brexit negotiations, Dempsey was the subject of an online fracas. The journalists Ash Sarkar and Owen Jones, alongside the Labour MP Clive Lewis, pulled out of a rally because of his attendance. He had been accused of racism for stating that he empathised with the working-class followers of the far-right activist Tommy Robinson, and their hatred of the liberal political class. Many also took issue with his support for a no-deal Brexit. Today, Dempsey shrugs off the incident, but has little time for the very-online left, which he describes as 'destabilising and debilitating. I've always argued that just abandoning parts of the working class in favour of the more well-educated types is not going to work in the long run. 'We've got to find those common bonds, and I think the reconstruction of the trade union movement has to be a part of that. I don't think people realise just how much we've lost… The trade union wasn't just a card you carried into work… There was a whole broad architecture of what was the working class and its institutions in Britain that's been pulled away. It gave a sense of community, a sense of dignity and togetherness, and it gave people a framework [through which] they were able to articulate what they thought about society, to articulate a political view.' The sense of collectivity that came from organised labour, as well as the institutional architecture of workplace branches, mass memberships and political education, has given way to individualism and the purity-rituals of cancel culture. Left politics and class consciousness are now less determined by organising and more by an individual's adherence to a set of ever-shifting progressive mores. 'A lot of the movement has been dragged away,' Dempsey said, 'and what people have tended to do is demonise and insult people that they disagree with politically. That doesn't help us, but that has been the approach… People have become obsessed about what's in people's heads.' The radical left may be ailing, but politicians of the Fabian centre left aren't faring too well either. Despite the 'steps in the right direction' Dempsey describes, Labour's leadership has spent its first year in power shedding support in all directions. What's going wrong? 'We're living under a dictatorship of the bond markets,' Dempsey replied. Even Donald Trump has been tamed by bond traders. 'The government is scared to invest.' We spoke before Rachel Reeves delivered her Spending Review, which combined capital spending with a continued squeeze on day-to-day departmental budgets. This broad fiscal policy picture is unlikely to shift the dial decisively towards national renewal, still less be the starting gun for constructing a new, post-neoliberal economic model. 'I don't believe the trade union movement should be a committee for arguing for a bigger slice of an ever-dwindling public expenditure pie,' Dempsey said. 'We've got to be addressing the economic reality: we need to rebuild the country. We can't rely on imports of wage-producing goods. We cannot rely on the chaotic situation that we've had for the past 40 years. It doesn't work any more. It doesn't deliver better living standards any more. The only way we're going to change it is by having proper investment. We've got staggering profits, falling living standards and wages, and a really, really low level of investment – and that's business investment as well as government investment. 'We can't just be an association of banks with a country attached any more. We need to be making things. We need a real economy, with high-tech manufacturing and infrastructure. And today, you can't rely on the market to deliver that.' This is an analysis that will be familiar to many New Statesman readers. The UK is in its second decade of declining living standards, and the deterioration of the public realm continues apace. 'People's lives feel chaotic,' Dempsey told me, 'the social fabric has been torn away.' Our industrial base is threadbare. The financialised, debt-driven, service-dependent economic model no longer generates growth. The ethereal nature of a digital 'knowledge economy' became apparent during Covid. Britain is tired and worn out, its real wealth increasingly concentrated in the capital's property bubbles and the glass-and-steel edifices of its tertiary sectors. Against this bleak backdrop, a figure like Eddie Dempsey espousing a bread-and-butter, populist socialism might be seen less as an anachronism and more as a welcome antidote to the moribund left and progressive gentrification. As much of the electorate joins the Faragist revolt, could a revived, popular trade unionism lead a fightback? 'We've got to focus on providing people a good standard of living and bringing people together,' the RMT leader said. 'And I wouldn't mind the beer price coming down, and Millwall being promoted. If I can have all that – I'm happy.' Hapless junior ministers and Partridge-like TV hosts: beware. [See also: Geoff Dyer's English journey] Related

A fugitive landlord is at large. Where does that leave dozens of his Ontario tenants?
Tenants of buildings owned by a wanted fugitive could be safe from eviction if the bank or a new landlord take over, a legal expert says. Gareth West, 45, is wanted by U.S. authorities for allegedly running a grandparent scam call centre in Montreal, defrauding American seniors out of more than $21 million US. He's been at large since an arrest warrant was issued for him in February. CBC News has previously reported that Gareth owns two apartment buildings — one in St. Thomas and the other in London. West bought another building, at 232 Elm Street in St. Thomas, in March 2022 but the three-storey walk-up was ordered shut by the fire department last November for severe fire code violations, resulting from botched renovations. It was foreclosed that same month before the bank took over in January, according to property records. "When the bank takes over, it's actually a good thing because if the landlord wasn't paying the utilities then the bank takes on the responsibility and things get restored," said Elena Dempsey, a lawyer at Elgin-Oxford Legal Clinic in St. Thomas. Tenants living at West's rentals at 14 Holland Street in St. Thomas and 308 Egerton Street in London say they've been left to deal with uncollected garbage piling up, power interruptions and no hot water. They've expressed concerns about what comes next in the absence of their landlord. Both cities said services are restored at the apartments and they're working with the respective mortgage lenders. What happens next? The next step would involve the mortgage lender, which could be the bank, seizing the properties and taking ownership until its sold to another buyer. However, tenants would have protections against evictions under the Residential Tenancies Act. "The only way the bank would seize the property is if the landlord goes into default on the mortgage," Dempsey said. "We have in the past had times where the landlord can't pay utilities, or the landlord is unable to maintain the payments on the property and the bank takes over, which is more frequent." With West on the run, the lender can get an order from Superior Court allowing it to take ownership, but that process could take several months. Residents will then have to prove they are legitimate tenants, after which they'd receive something called a Notice of Attornment and their rent would be paid directly to the bank from the date of the notice. Having the bank as their landlord can be a boon for those living at the buildings because it can guarantee stability in services, said Dempsey. If another person or company purchases the building, they become the new landlord and cannot evict tenants without valid cause, she added. "Only under the act can you evict, you cannot just say 'Get out people, I'm the new owner,'" Dempsey said. "If the new person takes over and one of the tenants do something that give rise to eviction, potentially yes, they could be evicted, just like they can be evicted anywhere else." The landlord could apply to demolish the building or convert it for other use but they're required to provide at least 120 days notice and tenants can contest that at the Landlord and Tenant Board — another lengthy process. Municipalities limited in authority Municipalities are limited in their jurisdiction over private properties, said St. Thomas Mayor Joe Preston. However, his city and London have issued bylaw notices which gives them authority to address violations such as garbage collection, and issues with water and electricity. "Not having trash picked up is not likely enough of a property standards but when we get water and electricity shut off, then we can step in after a disconnect has happened to get it turned back on. We cover those bills and put them on the landlord's [property] taxes," said Preston. "The landlord has certain obligations, even if he is an absentee landlord, and it appears right now things are back on and tenants are being well served but we will make sure we get involved where we need to." With West at large, the property tax expenses become a lien on the buildings and would prevent future sales until that's paid, said Preston, adding: "It gives us some power to be able to collect from anybody who might purchase the building in the future." St. Thomas officials managed to find new housing for all tenants at West's Elm Street rental, said Preston. Both cities said they will work to help relocate tenants in the event of an eviction, but that remains up to the mortgage lender or new owner. Some tenants CBC News spoke to said they won't be paying rent until the situation is resolved, with some saying efforts to make their payments have been unsuccessful and deposits weren't accepted, though others said the money was withdrawn from their accounts. Dempsey's advice is to put money aside until there's a resolution. Tenants could pursue the new landlord for violations of tenant protections such as loss of services, interference with reasonable enjoyment, emotional distress and other issues. "It's not a good idea to withhold your rent. Any court does not look favourably upon self-help remedies," she said. "Let's say the tenants pooled all their money together and paid the hydro bill, that might be a good argument as to why they shouldn't pay their rent but I'm not hearing that that's what they've done." West and 25 others are facing wire fraud charges in the U.S. for the alleged grandparent scam, and he could spend 40 years in jail, if convicted.

Taoiseach to raise Meath bus fare increases with Minister following intervention
Deputy Dempsey secured a commitment from Taoiseach Micheál Martin to address the fare hikes, which have hit towns like Navan and Athboy despite the absence of rail alternatives. Speaking in the Dáil chamber, Deputy Dempsey said: 'Commuters across Meath West welcomed the announcement of new commuter fare zones, but were left disappointed in April when it applied only to rail fares. That disappointment deepened in recent weeks with the bus fare changes.' 'In my hometown of Trim, the fare reduction was minimal, while towns like Navan and Athboy actually saw increases. The rationale offered was that fares now cover both bus and rail, but as we know, these towns have no rail service. It's only fair that areas without rail access, like Navan and Athboy, be given an exception and see their bus fares reduced.' The new fares structure came into effect on Monday. Among the most affected routes are the single Leap fare from Navan to Dublin, which will rise from €5.60 to €6.30, and the fare from Athboy to Dublin that will increase from €7.70 to €8.10. The Meath West TD added: 'Meath has some of the longest commutes in the country, with most people relying on cars. We need meaningful incentives to shift towards public transport. With our population and regional importance growing, it's vital that national infrastructure plans reflect this reality.' In response, the Taoiseach acknowledged her concerns and the region's importance. He said: 'Your point is well made, especially in the context of our climate targets. While implementing changes may be challenging, Navan doesn't yet have a rail line, though we are committed to delivering it, and work is underway. I will raise this issue with the Minister for Transport. I understand the motivation behind your proposal, and I agree Meath plays a major role as a commuter county.' Deputy Dempsey welcomed the Taoiseach's pledge, saying she looks forward to working toward 'a fair, effective solution for Meath commuters' and ensuring that 'no community is left behind.'

Quiver Bioscience Appoints Graham Dempsey, PhD as Chief Executive Officer to Lead Scaling of AI-Driven CNS Platform and Advance Lead Program into the Clinic
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Quiver Bioscience ('Quiver'), a discovery technology and therapeutics company advancing programs for treatment of serious central nervous system (CNS) disorders and chronic pain, announced the appointment of co-founder Graham Dempsey, PhD as Chief Executive Officer. Dr. Dempsey assumes the CEO role after more than a decade of scientific and operational leadership at Quiver, most recently serving as Quiver's Chief Scientific Officer, directing the planning and execution of all scientific, medical, engineering and AI/machine learning activities at the company. This appointment comes as Quiver aims to advance its lead program into the clinic, an antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) targeting Na v 1.7 for the treatment of chronic pain, while scaling its CNS-focused AI-driven drug discovery platform to accelerate a portfolio of therapeutic programs. Paul Roma, Quiver co-founder and interim CEO will transition to Chairman of the Board of Directors. 'We're excited by the potential of our genetic medicine strategy and platform to unlock this important target towards creating a transformative product for patients suffering from chronic neuropathic pain," said Dr. Dempsey Share Dr. Dempsey has successfully led the development and rapid evolution of the company's technology platforms since the company's inception, as well as its first small molecule and antisense oligonucleotide therapeutic programs, resulting in several foundational patents and peer-reviewed publications. He has also led more than a dozen pharma collaborations and the execution of several grants from non-dilutive funding sources such as the NIH SBIR Programs and CNS Foundations. Dr. Dempsey holds a B.A. in biochemistry (Roy and Diana Vagelos Scholar) and biophysics from the University of Pennsylvania and a Ph.D. in biophysics from Harvard Medical School, where he co-invented novel fluorescence-based imaging platforms for investigating biological systems and was part of the team that developed the super-resolution imaging technique called stochastic optical reconstruction microscopy (STORM) that was subsequently commercialized by Nikon Instruments. Dr. Dempsey serves on the Scientific Advisory Board of the Dan Lewis Foundation for Brain Regeneration Research and the editorial board of Molecular Therapy Nucleic Acids. Under Dr. Dempsey's leadership, Quiver will advance their lead asset, an ASO targeting the genetically validated pain target Na v 1.7, a voltage gated sodium channel implicated in several neuropathic pain disorders, through IND and early clinical studies. 'Despite the longstanding promise of Nav1.7 as a target for pain, it has remained elusive for drug developers. We're excited by the potential of our genetic medicine strategy and platform to unlock this important target towards creating a transformative product for patients suffering from chronic neuropathic pain,' said Dr. Dempsey. Quiver's Na v 1.7 ASO is expected to deliver durable relief for chronic pain while overcoming limitations of other Na v -targeted small molecules currently under development and recently approved. Quiver's strong data package demonstrates the efficacy of Na v 1.7 ASOs in rescuing pain phenotypes in in vitro and in vivo models with a favorable CNS tolerability profile. The ASO program is approaching development candidate selection in 2025 and is expected to begin critical IND enabling studies shortly thereafter. Quiver is also scaling their human-centric AI-driven novel CNS drug discovery platform with in silico models of target, efficacy and toxicity prediction, and is further bolstering a pipeline of fast-follower programs in pain, neurodevelopmental disorders, and other diseases of the CNS including the advancement of its UBE3A -targeting ASO for the neurodevelopmental disorder, chromosome 15q duplication syndrome (Dup15q) to IND. The company will be attending the BIO International Convention in Boston this week to showcase their programs and platform. About Quiver Bioscience Quiver Bioscience is a technology-driven company established to create transformational medicines for the brain while simultaneously uncovering new biology and novel, effective drug targets.
