Hope she gets better soon.

Maybe but if your walking across a road with tracks and overhead cable you should have the common sense to look both ways. n Connor graham. Where did you get your stats on the Irish transport system being more dangerous than anywhere else in Europe. This is news to me.

Y’know if you’re a visitor for the first time to Ireland, you tend to look in the wrong direction for traffic approaching. Happened to me. I suppose if you went to San Francisco the same would happen to you. At least in Dublin, many crosswalks are well marked, presumably for just that reason. “Look Right” has saved me a similar fate on many occasions.

Brian, I disagree with that, I’ve been living in Inchicore my whole live (all 17 years of it) and there are always tourists here due to Kilmainham Jail, the Royal Hospital, Hilton Hotel proximity to the Guinness Storehouse etc etc. So it’s actually highly likely that someone would be in Inchicore on their first visit to Dublin, it’s 10 minutes away from the city centre, we’re not talking about the back arse of Cavan here.
That isn’t important though, just really hope that the poor woman is alright!

Thanks for that, couldn’t work out how such a thing happened

Poor creature, hope all will b ok

Good point Seamus except if it’s your first time in Dublin it’s highly unlikely you’ll end up in Inchicore.

Ah shite, meant *life obviously!

I hope shes ok.

why do people have to comment on wishing injured people well all the time. just read the story and comment if you have an opinion!. of course we all hope everyone rests in peace or makes a full recovery. Sheeeh!

Does it matter at this stage?nPriorities?

she’ll have to take responsibility for her own actions. why was she on the tracks when a tram was coming?

Can I just make the point, and I know that most of you will think this is stupid and will give it a thumbs down, that if you’re not used to a tram system then your not going to be looking out for it. I only go up to Dublin (I’m from Cork) every few years and when I do I almost always get beeped by a tram driver (who I’m not criticising, he’s just doing his job) because I forget about the Luas and walk across the road and I’m pre-occupied trying to find my way around. You just don’t think of it when you’re not used to it so this could have been the case for this poor woman maybe. Just an idea :)

Another disadvantage of the Luas. The stopping distance for the Luas is much longer than that of a car with bald tyres.

Only in Ireland could the amount of accidents that have happened with this system occur, its a combination of carelessness and stupidity on everybodys behalf from luas to joe public, many similar type systems in europe working with a fraction of the incidents that happen in dublin,luas is like those e voting machines that were sent to scrap , lots of money spent with little thought or planning also that red line is more dangerous than syria,another irish joke

How is there so many accidents involving the luas? Been to Amsterdam plenty of times, way more trams there and a hell lot more visitors with hardly any accidents.

.All this crap about the Luas not been dangerous, it is and so is Dublin bus. Its the drivers that make these modes of transport dangerous, same with cars. A lot Dublin bus driver fly around the city and like, car and Luas divers it only hits them when they kill some one. We as drivers are responsible for pedestrians and other road user’s. As soon as someone puts there foot on the road, they have RIGHT OF WAY.
If I ever come across anyone on this site, who is involved in an fatal road accident. I’ll make sure the court and the family of the victim, see’s it the comments.
As for different modes of transport on our roads, that’s up to the qualifies engineers in the department of transport, not you talking shit.

I feel so sorry for her, I hope she recovers soon, I were in a bad car accident, and left unconcious, but had an out of body experience and seen Our Blessed Virgin Mary, so would go through it all again, Our Lady loves us just like our Mother but a trillion times more, as it will always be like; Our Lady just appeared to me. Here Love is greater than time. Perfect and Pure; I will pray to Our Lady for you. Karen
