The reporting
newest first- 11 Jun2024Man arrested as Garda tyres slashed at planned refugee housing site in Tipp
Gives the 11 June date and the Section 4 Criminal Justice Act 1984 detention. Case 5694 gives a 12 June arrest under the Public Order Act and a charge, so the details do not fit and this is treated as a separate incident.
suspect, 20s, male - 11 Jun2024Man, 20s, arrested during incident at site earmarked for Ukrainian refugees
Brief early report of the arrest, adding that a Garda patrol vehicle at the same site was damaged on Tuesday afternoon with its tyres slashed. The article does not state the offence or the man's name, and does not say he has been charged. Existing case 5694 describes a different arrest on 12 June 2024, so it is not matched.
