Woman, 22, questioned after knife attack at school

A 22-year-old woman has been questioned in connection with a frenzied knife attack on another in the grounds of an Ennis primary school.

The woman, from Ennis, was arrested by gardaí shortly after the alleged assault after 5pm on Saturday at the Holy Family primary school, which left the 23-year-old victim with 17-20 stab wounds on the upper body, including a punctured lung and cuts to her head and neck.

If the DPP directs that the woman be charged, she will be brought before a district court today.
