Principal latest to die as Dublin loses place on cycle-friendly index

The number of cyclists killed on Irish roads in 2017 so far has already matched the total amount of those who lost their lives on bikes last year.

School principal Pádraic Carney, aged in his 50s, became the 10th cyclist to be killed this year after he was in a collision with a car at Butterfield Park, Rathfarnham, Dublin, at around 8.10am on Monday.

Mr Carney was principal at St Louis Senior Primary School in Rathmines.
