...I'm sorry to disrupt you while you're reading this article, but without messages like this, IrishCycle.com's reader-funded journalism won't survive. With nearly 1/2 million views and 300k readers so-far this year, it's not just people who are dedicated to cycling that this website reaches. However, the number of subscribers is around 0.6% of readers. While having a large gap between readers/subscribers is standard for non-paywall reader-supported journalism, IrishCycle's journalism needs more support. Don't delay, support monthly or yearly today. Now, back to the article...

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.”
