Taxi passenger who died in Dublin crash 'was travelling home from work'

Update 12.47pm: It is understood a taxi passenger who died in a crash in Dublin's north inner city early this morning was on his way home from work.

Local Councillor Nial Ring said the place where the accident happened is not regarded as an accident blackspot.

“Obviously that particular intersection has seen some tragedies in the past in terms of a shooting, and there has been some accidents in the area, but it’s not a notorious blackspot or anything like that.
