Reconstruction of Dublin bus crash

Gardaí will tomorrow reconstruct the events of last Saturday's bus crash on Dublin's Wellington Quay in which five people were killed.

The reconstruction will take place from 6am and the area will be closed to traffic for a number of hours.

Dublin Bus will supply three buses identical to those at the stop last week, but it is understood they will be driven by gardaí.

Detectives trying to establish how a bus drove into a bus queue, will be joined by the international team of investigators brought in by Dublin Bus as part of the company's own inquiry.

Superintendent Tom Conway, who is leading the investigation, said it is hoped more information can be gained about the specifics of the accident.

It comes as the last victim Kathleen Gilton, 69, from Maynooth, was buried today.

As a mark of respect to those who died, all buses in Dublin are today displaying black ribbons on their wing mirrors.
