Bus crash: Firm 'warned of dangers weeks ago'

Gardaí were today investigating a bus-stop accident that claimed five lives amid claims that the transport company was warned weeks ago of the dangers of the location of the terminus.

Three women and two men died yesterday when a double-decker bus apparently went out of control and mounted a pavement, ploughing into a queue of waiting passengers close to the Clarence Hotel, owned by the U2 rock group, on Dublin’s crowded River Liffeyside Wellington Quay.
