Gardaí set to question fans over referee confrontation

GARDAÍ expect to question Louth fans in the coming weeks for allegedly assaulting referee Martin Sludden following the controversial end to the Leinster senior football final last month.

Officers are completing the formal identification of the main suspects and will then interview them, either voluntarily or under arrest.

While up to six men are facing the possibility of minor assault charges, at least two of them face the prospect of more serious assault charges.
