The aircraft (EI-DYG), reportedly suffered multiple bird strikes on approach to both engines and the main landing gear. The aircraft apparently departed the runway during the rollout but was steered back on. At some point the left main gear also collapsed. Crew and passengers evacuated via the slides, and there were a few minor injuries.

A photo of the aircraft can be seen on the AvHerald link below.
