A man killed by a Luas in the early hours of Sunday morning had missed his stop and was walking back on the tracks when he was struck.
The victim was hit in a dimly-lit area on the green line between the Cabra and Broombridge stops, where pedestrians are not permitted. It is understood the man, who was in his 50s, had been on a previous tram and when he reached Broombridge – where the service terminates – he began to walk back towards the city centre along the tracks.
The speed limit for the Luas on the stretch where the tragedy occurred is 60kph.
