GARDAI ARE INVESTIGATING A SERIOUS ASSAULT ON A WOMAN IN ROSCOMMON TOWN.

IT FOLLOWS THE DISCOVERY OF A MAN’S BODY IN THE SEA AT THE CLIFFS OF MOHER YESTERDAY EVENING.

THE BODY OF A MAN IN HIS 40’S WAS RETRIVED FROM THE SEA BY THE DOOLIN COASTGUARD, AND REMOVED TO HOSPITAL IN LIMERICK FOR A POST-MORTEM EXAMINATION.

IN TRYING TO ESTALISH THE MAN’S IDENTITY, GARDAI IN ROSCOMMON TOWN SEARCHED A HOUSE AT ANVIL COURT ON CHURCH STREET IN THE EARLY HOURS OF THIS MORNING.

THEY DISCOVERED A WOMAN IN HER 50’S WHO HAD BEEN ASSAULTED.

THE WOMAN WAS TAKEN TO PORTIUNCLA HOSPITAL IN BALLINASLOE FOR TREATMENT, AND NO FURTHER DETAILS ARE AVAILABLE, WHILE GARDAI SAY THEY ARE FULLY INVESTIGATING BOTH MATTERS.
