A man and a woman have been killed in a crash in South Dublin.
GSOC has confirmed it is examining the incident as the victims interacted with gardaí shortly before their vehicle left the road.

A post mortem examination will take place later today.
Gardaí say the matter has been referred to the Garda Síochana Ombudsman Commission (GSOC), who are now conducting an examination.
A forensic exam has taken place and the road has reopened this morning.
