The incident happened on the N80 in Clonegal, Co. Carlow, shortly before midnight last night.

Several units of the Gardai pursued the vehicle after it ran through a checkpoint. The chase came to an end on St. Joseph’s Road, in Carlow town, when the runaway car rammed a Garda vehicle.

The occupants of the car, three males in their 20s, were arrested at the scene and are currently detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984 at Carlow Garda Station.

Three members of the Gardaí were injured during the incident, none of them seriously. They were taken to St. Luke’s Hospital in Kilkenny but they were discharged shortly afterwards.

Two Garda vehicles were damaged.
