Gardaí in Limerick are renewing their appeal for information about the death of a man in a hit-and-run.

It happened shortly before 11pm on Sunday night.

The 76-year-old was hit by a vehicle at Rylands on the Ballingarry to Rathkeale Road.

The driver of the vehicle did not remain at the scene.

The pedestrian was pronounced dead at the scene, and a post-mortem was carried out at Limerick University Hospital yesterday.

Gardaí are appealing to anyone who was on that stretch of road between 10:30pm and 11:15pm on Sunday night to come forward.

Anyone with information is being asked to contact Newcastle West Garda Station on 069 20650, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda station.
