TWO MEN were seriously ill in Dublin hospitals yesterday attacks over the weekend. In an incident early yesterday morning, a 51-year-old man was severely beaten by two masked men at his flat in Cabra Park, north Dublin.
The man returned home at a.m. when he was attacked and beaten with iron bars. He was treated in the Mater Hospital for a fractured skull and broken leg, arm and hand.
Meanwhile, a 42-year-old Englishman was in a critical condition yesterday following an incident in a Dublin hotel.
Mr Francis Tomlinson, from Bishop Stratford and his brother, Anthony (40), were involved in a row with two other Englishmen at around 12.40 a.m. on Saturday.
The fight broke out on a corridor in Jury's Inn near the Custom House. Both brothers suffered head injuries. Mr Anthony Tomlinson's injuries were not serious and he was later released from the Mater Hospital. It is believed the four men were staying in Dublin for two separate stag parties.
Gardai have appealed for witnesses following the death of a 28-year-old Co Kildare man who was found with serious head injuries lying on the foothpath on Clarendon Street in Dublin.
Gardai believe Mr John Mohan, a single man from Celbridge, may have fallen from a scaffolding on a building site. He was found at 2.30 a.m. on Saturday and taken the Meath Hospital where he died
