Gardai say they are continuing their investigation in relation to an alleged assault at a Laois graveyard last month.
The incident took place on Tuesday March 23 at St Joseph’s Cemetery, Acragar in Mountmellick.
Gardai were called to the location and four men were subsequently arrested and charged with the assault of another person.
The four, three aged in their 20s and one in their 30s, subsequently appeared in court.
A Garda spokesperson said: “Gardaí are investigating an incident of assault that occurred in a cemetery in Mountmellick, Laois on March 23.
“Four males (three aged in their 20s and one in his 30s) were arrested and charged in relation to this incident.
“Three men appeared before Tullamore District Court on March 24 and one male appeared before the Criminal Courts of Justice on March 26.
“As this matter is before the courts, it would be inappropriate to comment further.”
