One person has died, and three others have been hurt after a double-decker bus crashed into pedestrians in Dublin city centre.
Ireland’s justice minister confirmed the news to the Irish parliament, adding that those injured are being treated in hospital.
It is understood that the incident, in the pedestrianised North Earl Street, is being treated as a road crash.
Emergency services were called shortly after 12.30pm to the junction of Talbot Street and Marlborough Street.
Images from the scene show a police cordon has been established and a tent erected around the crash site.
The front window of the bus, which remains at the location, has been smashed, but it is not clear how that happened.
