A cyclist killed in a road crash metres away from the new National Children’s Hospital construction site in Dublin was “available to be seen” by the driver of the lorry prior to the crash and the incident may have been avoided, an inquest has heard.

Dublin city coroner Aisling Gannon delivered a narrative verdict in the inquest into the death of Neeraj Jain, 34, having previously indicated it was also open to her to deliver a verdict of accidental death.
