A garda investigation is underway into an alleged assault on a man in his 70s during another protest against asylum seeker accommodation in Clare.

The incident occurred outside an isolated and vacant five-bedroom luxury property at Scool near Corofin on Sunday night which locals believe has been earmarked for up to 40 asylum seekers.
