Students assaulted at boarding college

A BOARDING student was badly assaulted when a group of men broke into a Co Limerick agricultural college late at night.

The attack at the Salesian College in Pallaskenry — which is also a secondary day school — happened earlier this week but only came to light yesterday.

Some of the 80 boarding students were woken up when intruders went on the rampage, banging on doors and breaking furniture.
