Gardaí are investigating a violent altercation at an national school in Ennis during which a number of weapons were produced.
This incident unfolded shortly before 2 o'clock this afternoon outside the Holy Family Junior School on Station Road in Ennis.
A man - understood to a waiting parent -was sitting in his car when a woman travelling in a vehicle in the opposite direction, stopped and began shouting abuse at him
She then moved off, having held up traffic and a second vehicle then pulled up and several individuals armed with a number of weapons, including a machete, approached the man who then fled from his SUV and into the school grounds -
They gave chase but he eventually managed to escape - In the meantime - a number of other people, proceeded to smash the windows on the man's vehicle which was parked outside on Station Road.
No arrests have been made at this stage but gardaí are speaking to a number of witnesses and are appealing to anyone else who may have witnessed the violent altercation to contact them.

I'm going to leave this open for the time being until I see more on it. Please note that speculating as to the reasoning behind the attacks, who was involved or anything else is not going to be tolerated. I would imagine that this incident will involve a Garda investigation which mean this will be closed soon enough, just forewarning you all

Nothing will be done about this again because it's part of their culture!

I don't know, golf players are usually fairly respected and not really prone to violence, I presume that who you mean by "their" considering the only identifiable comment made was that there was a golf club involved.

I can't see this thread going anywhere good and it's discussing an ongoing legal issue, so locking.

Reminder all, opening a new thread to discuss a topic that has already had a thread closed is not encouraged.
