    see this is the problem, people are throwing in mindless comments without giving accurate info. all i want to know is whether or not i know this person and if he's ok! itl have to be tomorrow's paper

    If you knew the person you would have been informed by now no?
    I dont know what papers you read but how and ever the people who do know him and his family are grateful for your thoughts and best wishes at this horrific time x

    agree with you ....how somebody cant see a large bus....painted the most visible colour.... and walk across the road directly in front of it is beyond the scope of most people.

    Really and truly ,accidents happen... leave it be.
    Have this conversation with your friends in the pub. It's perfectly conceivable this mans friends and family use this forum. Have a bit of respect.

    look i lost 2 mates in a car accident a few years back and haven't got my phone on me today so its irritating when u want to know who the person is and all people keep doing is commenting on how horrible it all is.

    respect has nothing to do with it. a bus driver will possibly lose his job/licience, never drive again,all because some [EMAIL="idio@t"]idio@t[/EMAIL] decided he was going to cross the road,with total disregard for all concerned.

    I can understand that. I think everyone is wondering/worrying if they know the person and hoping for their recovery. Boards isn't the place for anyone close to find out names though. Someone would email you or mention it on fb if it was a friend by now.

    You've no idea what happened. Keep your thoughts to yourself. That is more respectful to everyone for now, including the driver whose life is probably destroyed tonight too.

    Fair enough, you'd be anxious to know. That's understandable. However, from what I understand, even if any of us did know the name we wouldn't be allowed to post it here if it hasn't already been released to the media. You probably could via PM but not in a thread. So all we can do on this thread is send our best wishes and sympathise for the family as they will have a long road ahead of themselves.

    wrong.

    Pedestrians have right of way anywhere even if they walk out onto a public road, a car has to yield to them.

    Take your trolling BS elsewhere.

    Some guy is in Beamount tonight fighting for his life ffs!

    When I was in Eyre Square earlier just after it happened there were 2 ambulance's attending to the man on the ground, by the looks of the damage to the bus he got hit hard on the head. I hope he pulls though, best wishes to the family.

    I hope the person who was hit and the driver/passagers are going to be okay.
    I don't know which way the bus was going and it does not matter but I still find it hard to remember that traffic comes down from Richardsons now. For donkeys years it was always the other way.

    well show me a case in ireland where a pedestrian was found to be at fault and insurance was paid out accordingly and il retract my statement.
    a soon as a pedestrian steps out onto a road they have right of way.

    You've been constantly trolling this website since you opened your account. Would you ever just get out.

    Reported, for the third time in as many days.

    Glad to hear your cousin is expected to make a full recovery Barone:)

    My dad suffered a fractured skull when he was 65 after being hit by a car and he made a full recovery as well so it is very possible. Your cousin also has youth on his side so best wishes again

    Wow - when I started this thread it was just to find out what happened, mainly because I didn't realize Gardai blocked off an area after someone got knocked over, but also it was to warn people to seek alternate routes. Now it's turned into some massive troll-fest. For shame to those involved!

    The accident also opened my eyes because it could so easily have been me - or any number of us - because a lot of us are guilty with crossing roads like that.

    Glad to hear he could make a full recovery, barone!

    For what it's worth, a motorised vehicle MUST yield to pedestrians - If you don't believe me, look up the Irish Statue Book and prove me wrong. It's crazy (and I strongly disagree with it), but it's the law in Ireland

    barone - Don't let a serious injury think that your cousin will never recover. I was told i'd probably never walk again after a serious accident a few years ago, I fairly proved those muppet doctors wrong :pac:

    You are wrong. :D

    There is an onus on a pedestrian to OBEY a traffic light if the pedestrian is within 15m of one. Once the pedestrian is more than 15m away they can legally wander all over the road if they like.

    You asked for statute, best read it :)

    baron, thats the best news i've heard all month. this thread is ridiculous, something like this is always bound to stir emotions (myself included!) but if people want to discuss rules of the road any further, it should be done in a new thread under "road saftey" or something.
