The family of an Irish teacher killed in a Dubai bus crash have said it was “with broken hearts” that they announced her death. Fiona Geraghty was among 17 people who died in a bus crash in Dubai. The 27-year-old from Balbriggan in Dublin was a teacher at St Molaga’s National School Balbriggan, Co Dublin but was on career break in Dubai . The bus drove straight into a low-clearance sign in Dubai’s Rashidiya neighbourhood, smashing through the driver’s side of the bus. A spokeswoman for the Department of Foreign Affairs confirmed one Irish national, a woman, had died and consular assistance was being provided to the family.
