    Looks like he/she skidded on ice at the junction of Dawson/Nassau Street.
    Aftermath looks serious. Hope they're ok.

    someone posted on Twitter, saying the guy was unconscious on the ground and being tended to by paramedics. fingers crossed for a positive outcome.

    yeah I wouldn't have thought there'd have been any ice there, especially not at that time with the traffic volumes that use that area.

    and most likely wasn't any ice either, there was no hint of ice anywhere near town on my commute. reports / comments elsewhere suggest it involved a bus somehow but there seems to be little to no other info out there.

    Cycled through the city centre , O'Connell St/ College Green, at approx 6.45 and there was no ice. Looked like some areas were gritted.

    Quiet possible. There was a bus behind the bike.
    I just assumed ice.

    Fuck. I hope this isn't the first dreaded stastic of the year. Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery. Stay safe everyone. It's a jungle out there. This is coming from someone who used to be an arsehole of a man towards cyclists. I bought a bike myself and cycle (not for commuting) and neer looked back. Look after yourselves everyone.

    Has there been any word.
    I took a look at the area. There is a big metal manhole cover where he went down. Probably slipped on it.
