A man in his 20s has been arrested on suspicion of drink driving after a woman was knocked down and killed in West Dublin in the early hours of this morning.
Two women - both in their 40s - were struck by a car on Hartstown Road in Clonsilla at around 2.30am this morning.
They were taken to Connolly Hospital, where one of the women was pronounced dead.
The second woman remains in a serious condition.
Three people who were in the car were uninjured.
