A cyclist, who knocked a woman unconscious after colliding with her as she stepped off a bus, has been cleared of all responsibility for the accident or having caused her serious injuries.

Judge James O’Donohoe, who last week branded cyclists in Dublin as “a nightmare”, decided on Thursday that Dublin Bus, whose driver allowed the woman to alight at an undesignated stop, was 100% liable for the accident.
