Hospital (Irish: Ospidéal Thamhlachta) is a stop on the Luas light-rail tram system in Dublin, Ireland. It opened in 2004 as a stop on the Red Line.[1] The stop is located on a section of reserved track at the side of Cookstown Way in south-west Dublin, immediately outside Tallaght University Hospital.[2]

Incidents

On 23 February 2008, Cookstown Way was the site of the first ever fatal incident on the Luas. Tallaght resident Anthony Creed was struck by a southbound tram a short distance south of the Hospital stop. He was taken to Tallaght Hospital itself, where he died the following morning.[3]

On 14 February 2019 a woman was struck and killed on a Tallaght bound tram between the Cookstown and Tallaght Hospital stops. She was pronounced dead at the scene.[4]
