Eight young men are due to appear in court today in connection with a serious assault in County Tipperary.
The incident happened in the village of Upperchurch on June 27th last year – a 19 year old man suffered life threatening injuries in the attack.
He spent some time in the Intensive Care Unit at Cork University Hospital.
Eight men – ranging in age from 18 to 20 – are due to appear before Thurles District Court this morning charged with violent disorder.
