He was taken to Naas General Hospital, but died a short time later.

Kildare County Council's road safety officer Declan Keogh has warned people of the importance and invaluable use of wearing a high visibility vest.
Mr Keogh said: 'Many people who walk along the road may in general be familiar with the road, however, if they are not visible to other road users by what ever means, their chances of being seeing is reduced to almost zero, until it's too late.'
