They shouted abuse at gardaí and threw missiles.

Two members of the Force were admitted to South Tipperary general hospital where they were treated for injuries before being released.

Five people were arrested in relation to the incident and are due to appear at a sitting of Tipperary District court in July.

A file has been sent to the DPP.
