A car crash at the gates of Government Buildings in Dublin might have been intentional, a witness has said.
She was taken to Pearse Street Garda Station, where she is being questioned under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act.
The woman, who did not want to be named, said: “There was confusion over what happened. I thought she lost control and crashed into the gate but I’m not sure any more – I think it might have been intentional.
“There was a bit of commotion as people didn’t know what happened. A few people went to the driver to see if she was OK but she didn’t seem to be injured.”
There was only minor damage to the car, and there were no reports of any injuries.
The vehicle remained at the scene for some time while officers investigated, but was later been removed.
A spokesman for the Department of Taoiseach said: “We understand this matter is now under investigation by the Gardai and therefore it would not be appropriate to comment further.”
