A fresh appeal for information has been issued by gardaí investigating the assault on an unarmed garda in Blacklion, Co Cavan, last month.
Garda Padraig Scott remains off duty while recovering from injuries sustained in the assault on 28 February.
Gardaí say he "continues to be fully supported by his family, friends and colleagues and is being provided with welfare and any other supports required from the Garda Employee Assistance Service."
A garda checkpoint was carried out at the scene of the attack on the N16 at Loughan, Co Cavan, last night.
Speaking this morning, Chief Superintendent Alan McGovern said: "Padraig is a uniform unarmed member of An Garda Síochána; he commenced duty as normal on Sunday, 27 February, 2022.
"He was a diligent member of An Garda Síochána going about his normal duties keeping people safe but as a result of a cowardly attack by unknown criminals he did not finish duty as normal that night.
"Padraig was hospitalised and remains off duty recovering from his injuries and the trauma of this attack."
Appealing for further information, Chief Supt McGovern added: "The investigation team continue to make progress in this investigation and I want to thank the public for their support and assistance received to date.
"I continue to appeal for any person with any information on this attack to contact investigating gardaí."
Gardaí are appealing to anyone who was travelling on the N16 in Cavan, passing Loughan House Prison, or the R206 and R207 at the junction with the N16, between 7pm on Sunday 27 February and 3am on Monday, particularly anyone with video footage (including dashcam) to contact them.
Anyone with any information can contact Cavan Garda Station on 049 4368800, the Garda Confidential Phone Number 1800 666 111 or any Garda station.
