It is unclear if the two female gardaí in the car were responding to an emergency call at the time of the incident.

The woman is believed to have been either crossing the road or at the bus stop when the patrol car approached the sweeping bend at Vergemount, outside Clonskeagh Hospital.

A Garda spokeswoman said the investigation into the incident is ongoing.
