A grandfather was viciously assaulted by two men as sixty teenagers watched.

The attack they witnessed occurred when the man (71) waited to collect his wife from bingo.

Many of their parents refused to allow the children to speak to gardai or identify the culprits who attacked Mr Leech outside the community centre in Athea, Co Limerick.

Garda Gerard Griffin, who investigated the attack on Mr Leech in 2008, said that in his 32 years of service he had never come across anything like what he encountered following the assault.

He had to visit the homes of some of the 60 witnesses five or six times to establish the truth as their parents refused to allow their children talk to him.

The people of Athea are a disgrace.

Backward sh1thole dykewater of a place- wouldn't expect anything less - the few times Iv'e been there I taught it was full of nuthin but knuckledraggers. Story above confirms it for me.
And the picture of one of the attackers in the independant this morning with he's finger up was very classy!
