A young woman is fighting for her life in hospital after an apparent assault in Co Clare last night.
The incident is understood to have occurred shortly after 6.00pm in the Market area of Ennis town centre.
Passers-by are believed to have raised the alarm by contacting Gardaí.
Gardaí and ambulance paramedics responded to the call and soon established that there was a person inside a public toilet. Unable to gain access to the toilet, the fire service was requested to assist.
Two units of Clare County Fire and Rescue Service from Ennis station attended the scene and gained entry to the toilet.
Ambulance paramedics and an advanced paramedic, specially trained in advance life support skills, assessed and treated the woman.
Gardaí confirmed that the woman in her 20s has been taken to University Hospital Limerick where her condition has been described as critical.
