Gardaí say it was lucky no one was injured on a Dublin tour bus, after it hit a street lamp earlier.

The collision happened on Merrion Road, as the bus swerved to avoid a vehicle and hit the light.

Gardaí tweeted a picture of the bus, adding: "Very lucky that nobody was injured. Always expect the unexpected!".
