...I'm sorry to disrupt you while you're reading this article, but without messages like this, IrishCycle.com's reader-funded journalism won't survive. With nearly 1/2 million views and 300k readers so-far this year, it's not just people who are dedicated to cycling that this website reaches. However, the number of subscribers is around 0.6% of readers. While having a large gap between readers/subscribers is standard for non-paywall reader-supported journalism, IrishCycle's journalism needs more support. Don't delay, support monthly or yearly today. Now, back to the article...

The man who was arrested earlier today in connection with the collision was  detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984 at Clontarf Garda Station. He was released tonight without charge and Gardai said that they are preparing a file for the Director of Public Prosecutions.

The Garda press office said: “Investigating Gardaí would like to thank those who have come forward and assisted them with their investigation to date, and are continuing to appeal for witnesses to contact the incident room.”

“Anyone with information is asked to contact Clontarf Garda Station 01-6664800, the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111 or any Garda Station.”


...That's the end of the article. Keep scrolling if you want to the comments, but IrishCycle.com *NEEDS* readers like you to keep it that way. It only requires a small percentage of readers to give a bit each month or every year to keep IrishCycle.com's journalism open to all. Thank you.
