The two men have been named as Steven Seery and Patrick Healy, originally from Coolock. They were arrested in the early hours of Friday morning following the attack, RTÉ reports.
The men were released and then re-arrested last night under section 3 of the criminal justice act and charged with assault causing harm. Having appeared at Dublin District Court this morning, the two men were bailed to appear again on 17 July.
