Scarlett Faulkner was found by gardaí with critical head injuries at the side of the R494 road, just outside the village of Birdhill, Co Tipperary last Saturday, March 21.

A 16-year old girl struck Limerick woman Scarlett Faulkner eleven times on her head with an iron bar, a special weekend court sitting heard on Saturday night.
