    Very sad to read of another fatality. There seems to have been several in a short time recently.

    EDIT

    As Aoi notes the reports now say he was 19 years old. The Irish Times reports that he has been named by Gardaí as "Shane Courtney (19) of Faha, Killarney".

    Hi

    This is not meant to trigger any speculation here as to cause

    However if anyone has a precise location for this incident please pass it on. Pm if you dont want to raise here.

    Reason being that Fossa appears to already have one of these hard shoulder to cycle lane conversions about which serious concerns have already been expressed in the media this week.
