The fiancee of a man killed in a hit and run in Dublin is appealing to the driver to come forward.
Thiago Cortes, who was from Brazil, was knocked off his bike on North Wall Quay on Monday night. He died in hospital yesterday.
The driver fled the scene and Gardaí have since recovered the car.

Thiago's fiancee Teresa Dantas is appealing for information;
"If you did it please come forward. You were driving a car, you hit someone and you left him there to die. Just please face what you did, come forward."
She is also asking anyone who has information that can help Gardaí to get in touch with the investigating team.
Green Party Councillor Janet Horner was at last night's vigil;
"I strongly believe that the council has a responsibility to provide safe streets. We need to be walking and cycling more, we know that, we knew that before there was a pandemic and we know that especially now that there is one" she said.
"We're asking so many people to get out and cycle. Every car on the road makes the road more dangerous."
