Your support makes all the difference.Republic of Ireland manager Martin O'Neill and his assistant Roy Keane were involved in a motorway accident in Dublin last night.
The incident happened on the M50, understood to be between the Blanchardstown and Finglas junctions.
The Football Association of Ireland confirmed the incident in a tweet, in which they explained that their car was 'rear ended' whilst in traffic. None of the five passengers in the vehicle were seriously hurt.
A spokesperson said O'Neill and Keane were accompanied by coaches Seamus McDonagh, Steve Guppy and Steve Walford at the time of the accident.
The worst any of the five suffered were minor injuries, the FAI confirmed, with the team doctor able to look after their scrapes.
The accident comes ahead of the Republic's Euro 2016 qualifying match against Scotland at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.
The M50 motorway in Ireland runs in a C shape around much of Dublin.
