Trained gardaí to quiz children after assault

Specially trained gardaí are to help interview four young children rushed to hospital following an attack at their home over the weekend.

Emergency services descended on the house in Blainroe, Co Wicklow, early on Friday evening after neighbours were alerted that the siblings, two boys and two girls aged from 11 to three, had been hurt.

Two of the children were airlifted from the scene as a precaution due to fears of spinal injuries but all four were discharged on Saturday after treatment at Tallaght Hospital and all are expected to make a full recovery.
