A garda spokesperson said the motorcyclist, a male in his 50s, was pronounced dead at the scene and has since been taken to the mortuary at University Hospital Limerick.
“The driver of the car, an adult female, was assessed at the scene and did not require immediate hospital treatment.
“The road at the scene is currently closed to traffic and is being preserved for examination by Garda Forensic Collision Investigators.
“The local Coroner has been notified. Diversions are in place on the R519 between the R520 at Ballykevin and Kilmeedy village,” said a garda spokesperson.
Gardaí are appealing to anyone who was travelling in the area at the time of the collision to contact them.
“Road users with camera footage (including dash-cam) from that section of road during the relevant period are also asked to make it available to investigating gardaí.
“Anyone with information is asked to contact Newcastle West garda station on (069) 20650, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any garda station,” said a garda spokesperson.
