Gardai say the motorcyclist, a man in his 50s, was pronounced deceased at the scene and that the local coroner has been informed
An investigation is underway after a motorcyclist died in a road crash in north Cork - close to the border with Limerick.
Gardaí are appealing for witnesses following the single-vehicle incident which happened near the village of Milford, sometime on Saturday afternoon.
They say they were alerted to a motorcyclist who was "found unresponsive" this Sunday morning on the R515 at Coolnagour between Milford and Dromcollogher in County Limerick.
"The motorcyclist, a male in his 50s, was pronounced deceased at the scene. The Coroner has been notified and a post-mortem examination will take place in due course," said a spokesperson.
Motorists are being advised the road is currently closed for a technical examination by Garda Forensic Collision Investigators and that local diversions are in place.

Gardaí are appealing for witnesses to come forward and any road users who may have camera footage and who were travelling in the area between 1pm and 6pm on Saturday are asked to make this footage available.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Mallow garda station on 022 31450, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any garda station.
The incident was the second fatal road crash in Ireland this weekend.
Earlier on Saturday, a pedestrian, aged in his 60s, died near Sixmilebridge in County Clare, after he was struck by a tractor.
Investigations into both incidents are ongoing.
