Daniel Treacy, 35, was shot four times by John Coughlan, 33, at a Topaz garage in Caherdavin, Limerick, on 22 February 2010, and Coughlan was sentenced to life imprisonment for the murder. Theresa Quinn, 35, who was working behind the deli, witnessed the shooting and developed PTSD. Quinn later sued Topaz Energy Group Ltd for nervous shock, arguing the company failed to provide her with a panic button alarm used by other staff. In December 2021, the High Court found Topaz negligent and awarded Quinn €33,000 in damages.
