Four men were arrested in connection with an badault on a football referee earlier this month in Horseleap, County Offaly.

The men, two 20-year-olds, a teenager and a 40-year-old man, were arrested this morning.

They are detained at Mullingar, Tullamore and Birr Garda stations.

The referee Daniel Sweeney was seriously injured in the face, including the broken jaw, following an attack after the match on November 11th.

The FAI opened an investigation into the attack and last Friday, three players and a spectator from Mullingar Town were banned from any football activity for 40 years.
