A 57-year-old man was killed in a collision involving two motorcycles this morning, police have confirmed.

Inspector Juan Kinley has confirmed that one of the riders, a 57-year-old man from Ireland, was pronounced dead at the scene.

No one else was injured during the collision, and the name of the rider who died is not being released until appropriate support is fully in place with the man’s family.
