Garda Padraig Scott, an unarmed uniform member of An Garda Síochána, was hospitalised after he was attacked at around 2am on February 27th.

A statement from Gardaí said: "Garda Scott remains off duty, recovering from his injuries.
"He continues to be fully supported by his family, friends and colleagues and is being provided with welfare and any other supports required from the Garda Employee Assistance Service.

Speaking on Monday morning, Chief Superintendent Alan McGovern said: "Padraig is a uniform unarmed member of An Garda Síochána; he commenced duty as normal on Sunday 27th February 2022.
