A man in his 70s was seriously injured in a collision with a car driver on the Stillorgan Road in Donnybrook this morning around 11.30am.
Evan OLeary at the Garda Press Office said: “Gardaí are appealing for information following a serious road traffic collision that occurred on the Stillorgan Road in Donnybrook, Co Dublin this morning, Sunday, 23rd January 2022. Gardaí and emergency services attended the scene at approximately 11.30am following reports of a collision between a car and a bicycle.”
He said: “The cyclist, a man in aged his 70s, was later taken to St Vincent’s Hospital. The man has since been transferred to Beaumont Hospital where he is receiving treatment for serious injuries. No other injuries were reported.”
The press office said that diversions were in place for a period of time this afternoon as Forensic Collision Investigators conducted a technical examination of the scene.
O’Leary added: “Gardaí are appealing to any road users who may have video footage or anyone who witnessed the incident on the Stillorgan Road (N11) to come forward to them. Anyone with information can contact Donnybrook Garda Station at 01 666 9200, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111 or any Garda Station.”
Subscription drive update: IrishCycle.com reached its target of 270 subscribers by the end of August -- thank you to all who have helped! Our new target is to have 300 subscribers by the end of 2022 -- originally this was hoped to be exceeded by the first year of running the site full time (end of October).
If you can help push IrishCycle.com above 300 subscribers, please subscribe today for €5 or more. If you have already done so -- thank you!
Please remember, every month there's a natural drop-off in subscriptions due to people getting new cards, cards stolen, Revolut not topped up etc.

IrishCycle.com is a reader-funded journalism publication. Effectively it's an online newspaper covering news and analyses of cycling and related issues, including cycle route designs, legal changes, and pollical and cultural issues.
There are examples, big and small, which show that the reader-funded or listener-funding model can work to support journalism -- from the Dublin Inquirer and The Guardian to many podcasts. To make it work for IrishCycle.com, it just needs enough people like you to believe!
Monthly subscriptions will give IrishCycle.com's journalism a dependable base of support. But please don't take free access for granted. Last year IrishCycle.com had an average of 15,800 readers per month and we know our readers include people who cycle and those who don't, politicians, officials and campaigners.
I know only a small percentage of readers will see the value of keeping this open enough to subscribe, that's the reality of the reader-funded model. But more support is needed to keep this show on the road.
The funding drive was started in November 2021 and, as of the start of June 2022, 250 readers have kindly become monthly subscribers -- thank you very much to all that have!
But currently, it's only around 1.6% of readers who subscribe. So, if you can, please join them and subscribe today via ko-fi.com/irishcycle/tiers
