A CYCLIST WAS hit by a Luas tram on the Red Line this morning.
It happened on Mayor Street Lower at around 7.50am.
An ambulance arrived at the scene and the cyclist has been taken to hospital.
It’s understood that the cyclists injuries are minor.
Services were disrupted on the line for a time with trams only running between Tallaght/ Saggart and Connolly.
However, a spokesperson for Transdev told TheJournal.ie that services have now been restored.

Like what other option do you have with some people who are violent to the extent they can’t be around people… Is doping them out of there head non stop any better
As long as you are aware that the prescribed psychoactive drugs they pump into people can also increase the risk of violence. Here is a forensic Psychaitrist from Australia.

Prof David Healy and Dr Peter Breggin also do great work in getting the truth out about these drugs.
This is seriously unfair and insulting to psychiatric nurses, a profession which has many wonderful, hard-working people.
Restraining is for everyone’s safety. Bonkers attitude
More shit from people completely put of touch with the reality, this would be fantastic if psychiatric nurses didn’t have to restrain seclude or even medicate at that, but unfortunately we live in reality where sometimes people with mental health issuers are aggressive and violent, as long as this happens restraint and seclusion will be a necessity, the alternative is high doses of sedatives ??? Which would you choose
The mental health commission obviously dont have a clue what they are talking about!
Its the same in nursing homes we recently had an issue with my mother after a fall..not her first..and were told she couldn’t be strapped into a chair because its too restricting even though it would be for her own safety.
Isn’t it important to look at if restraint actually works/helps people recover? It should be a last resort. This blog from someone on the damage restraint did to her is interesting: http://www.mind.org.uk/blog/9010_i_needed_help_not_harm?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=Social+media&utm_campaign=Restraint
