Gardaí investigating an attack on a repossessed house in Strokestown, County Roscommon have arrested a second man.

Eight security men were injured, a dog was killed and six vehicles were burnt out at the property in mid-December.

The attack came a number of days after a group of men were filmed evicting a family from the house.
