I’ve never done this before but the news story of Thiago Osorio Cortes, the deliveroo cyclist who died after he was struck by a car, really struck a cord with me.
He was described as “very happy and always laughing”.
Mr Cortes (28), from Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, was cycling on North Wall Quay in Dublin when he was struck by a car at about 10.30pm on Monday night. Mr Cortes was delivering food for Deliveroo at the time of the incident.
He was taken by ambulance to the Mater hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. Gardaí are searching for four occupants of the car, which left the scene.
Brazilian nationals do so much in Ireland. They are much loved and add such a sense of flavour and love to our culture.
I am so sorry this accident happened to someone working and providing a service. I am sorry this happened to you in our country.
