A 16-year-old boy has been charged in relation to the stabbing of an army chaplain in Galway.
He is expected to appear before Galway District Court this afternoon.
Fr Paul Murphy (52) was attacked at 10.45pm on Thursday at Renmore Barracks.
It is expected that Fr Murphy will recover from his injuries. He had surgery yesterday in hospital after suffering stab wounds to his arms.
Before his surgery, the chaplain reassured his parish and friends in a Facebook message that he was OK.
Originally from Co Waterford, Fr Murphy has been a chaplain in the Defence Forces for decades and has served on a number of overseas missions.
