The son of Marian Finucane is understood to be recovering at home after three men broke into the RTÉ broadcaster's Co Kildare home yesterday and assaulted him.
20-year-old Jack Clarke was beaten up at the family home in Kilteel, just outside Naas, in the early hours of yesterday morning.
It is believed the men were unarmed but they remained in the house for up to an hour before fleeing on foot with a small amount of cash and two mobile phones.
Mr Clarke received treatment for head injuries and bruising at Naas General Hospital but was discharged last night.
The break-in happened just hours after Ms Finucane had left the country on holiday.
