Witness appeal over assault at Grace Park Road, Dublin 9

An alleged assault occurred at a location adjacent to Grace Park Road, Dublin 9, at approximately 9:20pm on Thursday 16 October 2025. Two men and two women, all in their 30s, were charged and detained under Section 50 of the Criminal Justice Act 2007, though a separate statement refers to three individuals being arrested and charged. They were due to appear before Court 1 of the Criminal Courts of Justice, Dublin, at 10:30am on Friday 17 October 2025.

Leitrim on 14 October 2025. Gardaí at Ballymun Garda Station are appealing for witnesses and camera footage from the area between Griffith Avenue and Richmond Road.
