A motorcyclist injured in a collision in which a Garda member was killed, has died in hospital.

A Garda spokesperson said the man aged in his 30s died in Beaumont Hospital on Saturday evening.

The spokesperson added: “Garda family liaison officers are providing ongoing support and information to both families involved.

“Investigations are ongoing.”

Garda Kevin Flatley died on May 11 when he was struck by the motorcycle while carrying out a speed checkpoint in Co Dublin.

Garda Flatley, originally from Newcastle, Co Dublin, had served in the Irish police force for 26 years and with the roads policing unit since 2018.
