Two Due in Court over Birdhill Serious Assault

Two suspects, a woman and a teenage girl, charged after Scarlett Faulkner was rammed off the road and brutally attacked, leaving her critically ill, with investigations ongoing.

  • An adult woman and a teenage girl appeared before Limerick District Court on Saturday after Gardaí charged them in connection with the assault on 29-year-old Scarlett Faulkner.
  • The assault occurred on March 21 on the R494 in Birdhill, Co Tipperary, where Faulkner was allegedly rammed off the road and beaten with weapons.
  • Currently fighting for her life at Cork University Hospital, Faulkner sustained catastrophic head injuries; her sister Victoria warned on Facebook she is "not out of danger."
  • To assist the investigation, Gardaí urged the public to provide dash-cam footage from the R494 between 5pm and 6pm on March 21 and stop sharing graphic videos online.
  • While the motive for the attack remains unclear, Gardaí continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident as the case remains active in Tipperary.
