Residents of a Rosslare Harbour Housing estate awoke to a strong Garda presence on Friday morning as they responded to an apparent stabbing incident.

A woman aged in her 50s was rushed to Wexford General Hospital with what gardaí described as "serious injuries "shortly after 7am.

Following the reporting of the incident, there was a strong Garda presence in the area, while paramedics from the National Ambulance Service also rushed to the scene at Brendan's Estate.
