A garda search is underway for three men after a woman was killed after being hit by a car being used in a robbery in South Dublin.
Another woman escaped with minor injuries.
The incident took place at about 9.20 last night, when a number of men entered a convenience store in Barnhill Road, Dalkey.
They threatened staff and robbed a sum of cash.
They left the scene in a car that was involved in a collision with two female pedestrians in nearby Killiney.
The men abandoned the car at the scene and fled on foot.
The two women - both in their 50s - were brought to St Vincent's University Hospital.
One of them was in a critical condition and died overnight from her injuries.
The second woman's injuries were minor.
The three men who were in the car haven't been located and searches are ongoing.
