An eight-year-old girl was last night fighting for her life after she was stabbed in the neck before being found at a house.
Her mother, 46, was also discovered unconscious at the scene near Clarecastle, Co Clare when the gardai and an ambulance team arrived shortly before 8am on Tuesday.
The girl and woman - both Ukrainian refugees - were rushed to University Hospital Limerick and both are in critical condition, but it is believed the child will be transferred to Temple Street in Dublin at some point.
