Gardaí in Abbeyleix are seeking the public’s assistance in relation to a serious assault that occurred on Sunday morning.

GARDAÍ IN LAOIS are investigating the circumstances of a serious assault which has left one man hospitalised with head injuries.

A 31-year-old man has been transferred from Portlaoise General to Beaumont hospital in Dublin with serious head injuries sustained in the assault.
