Mick McCarthy sends best wishes to Waterford acid attack victims

The Republic of Ireland managers have reached out to Tega Agberhiere.

Republic of Ireland boss Mick McCarthy has joined with Under 17 national team manager Colin O’Brien and Under 16 boss Paul Osam in sending their best wishes to Irish underage international Tega Agberhiere and his two friends after the acid attack in Waterford.

It comes after Tega suffered first degree burns to his face after being splashed with a corrosive liquid during an altercation in the Earlscourt housing estate on the Dunmore Road at around 11pm last Thursday night.
