An investigation is underway after security staff were assaulted at a site being developed for Ukrainian refugees, at Clonmel in County Tipperary. One person required hospital treatment after the attack, and several cars were damaged. It's believed the site is being prepared for 82 modular homes which will each house 4 people.
The incident occurred at 11.40 pm on Thursday, when security personnel on site were attacked according to Gardaí.
The security personnel were contracted to work on the site on Thursday night when they were assaulted by several people. One of the workers needed to go to hospital for treatment and several cars have been damaged. Gardaí say they're investigating an incident of assault and criminal damage.
No arrests have been made so far and they're appealing for information. Gardaí are asking road users with camera footage who were traveling near the Heywood Road and Clonmel Rugby Club areas between 10:45 pm and 11:30 pm that night to make this footage available to them.
