Gardaí are searching for the driver of a car that collided with a number of parked cars outside Dolan’s, the well-known pub, restaurant and live music venue, in Limerick City last night.
Gardaí said the driver, believed to be a woman, left the scene at Dock Road around 8pm, before gardaí and other emergency services arrived.
A number of cars sustained extensive damage in the incident. Two BMW cars and a Nissan car were removed from the scene by a recovery truck.
Gardaí and several units attached to Limerick City Fire and Rescue Service attended the scene and blocked off access to the road.
