Cyclist taken to hospital after 'minor' incident with Luas near Dublin city centre

The cyclist has been taken to hospital for “precautionary measures” but is not believed to be seriously injured.

LAST UPDATE | 29 Jan

A CYCLIST HAS been taken to hospital with non-serious injuries following a “minor” incident with a Red Line Luas near Kilmainham in Dublin.

The Luas came to a halt near the Suir Road stop, blocking Dolphin Road after making contact with the cyclist.

According to a Luas spokesperson, there was “minor contact between a tram and a cyclist” near the Luas stop.

“A bystander called the emergency services, and the cyclist has gone to hospital for precautionary reasons,” the spokesperson added.

In a statement, Luas services warned passengers earlier this morning that Red Line services are “operating with delays due to an incident at Suir Road”.

“We apologise for any inconvenience caused,” the statement said.

The Red Line has since been cleared, and services are operating normally.

    General rule for irish drivers is to speed up and drive even closer to the car in front when’s it’s foggy, I see more drivers with their fog lights on when it’s clear out?

    Wonder if the photo op will be better tomorrow? This morning wasn’t spectacular, I was hoping for some bootiful photies after last nights gorgeous sunset but it was just very ordinary.

    Quick question what is the story when driving a car with fog lights on and their red light beaming into the eyes of the driver behind , is it fair to say that the driver in front should turn off the their fog lights given the driver behind can see them thus reducing the risk of the red beam blinding the driver behinds vision
    Landed into work this morning with very sore eyes is there anything out there that covers this rules of the road basic driver decorum etc
    I’m afraid it’s going to be the same in the morning
    . ????
