A woman remains in a critical condition in hospital as gardaí in Co Galway continue to question a man in connection with an alleged assault in Ballinasloe earlier this week.
The woman, who is in her 50s, sustained serious injuries following an incident at a house in the town on Monday evening.
Emergency services were alerted shortly after 7pm and brought the woman to Portiuncula University Hospital.
A man, also in his 50s, was arrested yesterday evening and is being detained at a local garda station.
He is being held under the provisions of Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act and can be questioned for a total of 24 hours, before being charged or released.
Gardaí say their investigations into the matter are continuing and have appealed to anyone with information to contact them.
