Think you’re right, private cars are required to turn left into lower Liffey street just before upper Abbey street starts, so this car shouldn’t be there in the first place. And the fact driver was arrested too probably tells a bit too… RIP.

Just past by, Garda everywhere ,hope all ok

I hope the man with non threatening life injuries gets better too…

The only time you will see Garda on the street.

Sadly the Women injured has died. Rip

Nice pointless comment to an article where someone has lost their life there Micheal

Well done.

Micheal = Mark

Its very sad the woman lost her life, but you never see Garda on the streets of Dublin. R.I.P.

RIP to this poor woman. That’s completely off topic and utter rubbish, Mark…I always see guards on the street and I’m not home often.

I was replying to rmcd66 Ann-marie

I saw one 3 minutes ago. & I’ve seen plenty.

How can people red thumb this !!!!!
Sick , sad people with empty life’s

i was in Dublin last Tuesday. In the space of 30 minutes, I saw 5 different garda foot patrols, two garda cars driving through the city centre, one garda on a motorcycle, and an unmarked car.

The Journal should move their ‘Thumbs up/down’ from the right hand side. There’s no way anyone could give this comment a thumbs down. I reckon people are hitting the thumbs as they scroll down (I’ve done it) and it’s very annoying.

My sympathy with the dead woman’s family and the injured man.

Joe – you have a remarkable memory!

Why thank you Buckwheat. But it was a notable observation at the time.

Jesus you are hilarious…

That was directed at Mark btw

or indeed safe.

The mentality of people in Dublin is the same as those anywhere else in the country, they cant live without their cars. You’re probably more likely to come across some nutter with a failed driving test here then you are on some country road.

@Dave ….That’s because in our country you can fail your driving test, and get the car and drive home. Madness.

I think they’re allowed

There are multi story carparks in the area that should have been closed or not allowed in the first place. Having car traffic in this part of the city is completely incompatible with the Luas as well as cyclists and pedestrians. Nothing will be done about this as money usually has a higher priority than lives.

The delivery entrance to jervis is on that small stretch of street which is why motorists are allowed down it. It’s a tragedy to hear the lady passed away and hopefully the gent makes a full recovery

Cars’ aren’t allowed to drive on footpaths that last time I checked, see the car to the left of the Garda car, that has got to be the car in question, and where is it, smack bang on the footpath. How it got there is pure speculation so I’ll not even try to figure that out.

Bad driving led to injury and death, RIP innocent pedestrian.

That’s the entrance to deliveries to the shopping centre if you look closely

James, the second pic shows downed signs so the car mounted the footpath before stopping in the entrance area.

I missed the 2nd pic until now. You’d have to be doing quite fast to do that much damage

Seeing as how he was arrested I’d imagine there was some driver error.

I thought if you were the cause of an accident where you injured someone, you were automatically arrested.

True .

Nowhere in this piece is it referred to as an accident. And as for calling it homicide unless you know more about the story you certainly can’t call it that, untill its decided by a court or admitted .

The offence of vehicular homicide does not exist in this country.

The car was on the wrong side of the road and did indeed mount the pavement mowing down pedestrians.

I heard a luas was heading out of the city and the driver was attempting to overtake it

Muppet

You really are a tasteless ‘comedian’
