GARDAÍ IN CLONTARF arrested a man in his twenties in connection with a hit-and-run incident last week which left a 62-year-old cyclist dead.

The man was held at Clontarf Garda Station under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984. He has since been released without charge.

A file will be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.

The cyclist was struck by a car at around 6.30pm on the Clontarf Road at the junction with Howth Road in Fairview, north Dublin on 30 June.

Eyewitnesses described the car as a silver Volkswagen Golf.

A similar car was recovered a short time later in Marino, and was seized for a forensic examination.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Clontarf Garda Station 01-6664800, the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111 or any Garda Station.
