Three men have been taken to hospital following an assault in Slane, Co Meath on Saturday night.
It is believed two men suffered stab or slash wounds during the incident at the Slane Castle site.
One Garda source said it appeared an altercation had broken out among workers involved in clearing the site following the Harry Styles concert the previous week.
