1 day agoPortugal investigates crash on historic Lisbon funicular that killed 16; Department 'not aware' of any Irish citizens involved
The mangled wreckage of a yellow tram-like carriage, which carries people up and down a steep hillside in the Portuguese capital, lay where it had left the track and hit a building on Wednesday, just metres from its twin at the bottom of the steep 265-metre slope. The traction cable linking them had snapped. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade confirmed to the Irish Independent that it is not aware of any Irish citizens affected.
