Two masked men armed with knives broke into the house at around 10pm last night.

They attacked the three residents and ransacked the house, stealing a quantity of cash.

The occupants managed to escape about two and a half hours later to raise the alarm. All three were taken to Mid Western Regional Hospital in Limerick for treatment and have since left the hospital.
