Woman in Dublin hospitalised with serious injuries after being attacked by a number of dogs

This incident happened at a residence in Dun Laoghaire this afternoon.

A WOMAN IN her 50s has been hospitalised with serious injuries after she was attacked by a number of dogs in Dún Laoghaire.

Gardaí and emergency services were alerted to the incident at an apartment on the Glenageary Road in Dún Laoghaire this afternoon.

A garda spokesperson said the woman was “attacked by a number of dogs” and taken to St Vincent’s Hospital for treatment of her injuries, which are understood to be serious.

She is understood to be in a serious but stable condition in hospital.

The dogs are currently in the custody of the Dog Warden and investigations are ongoing.

Local Fine Gael councillor Lorraine Hall said it is “dreadful to hear about a dog attack in our local community in Dún Laoghaire” and added that she is “wishing the victim a full recovery”.
