A GARDA MOTORCYCLE and an ambulance were involved in a road accident this afternoon in Dublin while the 1916 commemorations were in full swing a short distance away.

The exact circumstances leading to the accident are not yet known.

“Both the motorcyclist and the ambulance driver, both males, were removed from the scene to the Mater Hospital with minor injuries,” a Garda spokesman told TheJournal.ie.
