A second man has been charged in connection with a serious assault on two off-duty Gardaí in Dublin this weekend.

He is expected to appear before Dublin District Court this morning.

One of the injured parties, a male Garda in his 40s, remains in critical condition in Beaumont Hospital.

The other Garda was assessed and later discharged by medics.

It is understood that both Gardaí are members of the Armed Support Unit, who were making their way home after a social event in the city on Friday night.

Investigations are ongoing.
