Gardaí continue to appeal for information, following injuries received by two women following a hit-and-run road traffic collision, same which occurred in the townland of Tinvane, Carrick-On-Suir, Co, Tipperary last night.
About 9.00pm last night two elderly women were struck by a van, while out walking. The vehicle then careered into a ditch before coming to a halt. The driver of the vehicle then hurriedly left the scene in the direction of the Piltown Road.
The two women were later taken to Waterford Hospital by ambulance to be treated for what has been described as thankfully non life-threatening injuries.
Gardaí are appealing for witnesses to come forward, who possibly were in the area or motoring in the townland of Tinvane, Carrick-On-Suir, at the time of the collision or prior; that can assist them with their enquiries. They particularly are appealing to motorists with may have dash camera footage to make it available to them.

Mr Michael Reilly, a 62 year old civil engineer and native of Ballycullen, Mullinahone, Thurles, Co Tipperary, is suing Iconic Newspapers Ltd, which published an article on February 9th, 2016, which he claims defamed him, destroyed his professional reputation and left his family “treated like pariahs”.
A High Court jury has heard that Mr Reilly claims he was defamed when the “Kilkenny People” newspaper, owned by Iconic Newspapers Ltd, published a report on an uninsured driver, latter who was convicted in the local court, and who held the same name as himself.
Iconic Newspapers Ltd, which also includes the “Tipperary Star” publication amongst over 20 other publications; totally denies defamation; stating the published court report in question was entirely fair and accurate on the court proceedings, which also attracts legal privilege.
Frank Callanan SC, council for Mr Reilly, stated that the newspaper report published had stated that “Michael Reilly, Ballycullen, Mullinahone” had received a three-month suspended sentence at Kilkenny District Court for driving without insurance, fined €750 and was banned from driving for six years.
Mr Callanan further stated, that contrary to the published article, his client, was the only ‘Michael Reilly’ holding an address at ‘Ballycullen, Mullinahone, Thurles, Co. Tipperary’. Thus the article published had caused his client and his family, great distress and professional damage to their reputations.
The case continues before a jury and High Court Judge Ms Leonie Reynolds.
Yesterday, July 3rd, 2021, Tipperary Gardaí stationed at Clonmel and while on routine patrol, observed a vehicle with two males on board acting suspiciously on the N24, Clonmel Bypass.
They halted the vehicle and upon carrying out a search, discovered tablets with a street value of some 10,000 euro concealed within the interior of the vehicle.
Consumption of the drug sold under the name Ksalol, which was seized by Gardaí, will cause renal and hepatic impairment; depression/anxiety thus precipitating or increasing the risk of suicide; together with respiratory depression; coma hypersensitivity to light, noise and physical contact; hallucinations or epileptic seizures and death.
Both men were arrested and are currently detained at Clonmel Garda Station under Section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Drug Trafficking) Act, 1996.
The arrests come as Gardaí commit to a major new operation aimed at protecting communities from the scourge of illegal drugs.
“Operation Tara” will see hundreds of Gardaí assigned to Divisional Drug Units across every Garda Division in the country take on individuals and groups involved in the drug trade at all level within local communities.
“Operation Tara” it is hoped will “disrupt, dismantle and prosecute drug trafficking networks, both international, national, local, all involved in the importation, distribution, cultivation, production, local sale and supply of controlled drugs”.
Thurles Gardaí are continuing to investigate a serious assault in County Tipperary and are appealing to the public for information.

Gardaí have confirmed that the victim was rushed to Cork University Hospital, where he is currently being treated for the serious injuries he sustained.
To date, we understand that no arrests have been made, however, investigations remain ongoing.
Gardaí at Thurles are currently appealing for any witnesses to this serious assault, or any road users who may have been travelling in the Upperchurch Village area between 11:00pm on Sunday last, through into the early hours of Monday morning, to make any dash-camera footage held, available for inspection.
