FIANNA FÁIL TD Timmy Dooley has said he’s okay in the wake of an attempted attack near Leinster House earlier today.
The Clare TD was approached by a person on Molesworth Street near the gates of the Dáil this afternoon.
The would-be attacker grabbed his tie and attempted to swing a punch.
His party colleague Billy Kelleher intervened but he was also attacked.
Dooley confirmed in a text to TheJournal.ie he was “grand” after the incident.
A Garda spokesperson said the force had not yet received any information on such an incident in the area.
