Statement from the Minister for Justice Helen McEntee TD

My first thoughts are with Fr. Paul Murphy, and I wish him a speedy recovery.

An Garda Síochána responded promptly last night, and the suspect is in Garda custody.

I would also like to pay tribute to the members of the Defence Forces who intervened bravely at the scene.

As this is a live Garda investigation, it would not be appropriate for me to comment further at this time
