Man remains in custody after woman stabbed on Christmas Eve

A man remains in Garda custody in Co Cavan this morning in connection with the stabbing of a woman on Christmas Eve.

The man who is in his late 50s was arrested on Wednesday after a woman in her 40s was found with serious stab wounds to her upper body at a house in Kilnaleck.

The woman was taken to Cavan General Hospital where she is thought to be in a serious but stable condition.

The man who is in custody is believed to be a well known Republican, and served a sentence for a serious crime committed in the mid 1990s.

He received hospital treatment for his injuries last night, and is now in Cavan Garda Station for questioning.
