They were targeted in Dungarvan, Co Waterford, between Friday and Sunday. All of the officers were attacked and four are still off duty over their injuries.

Local commander Chief Superintendent Anthony Pettit said: “It is unacceptable any of them should be assaulted while on duty. These incidents will be fully investigated.”
