Two men who had been arrested in relation to the confrontation that occurred at a farmhouse in Co. Roscommon in recent days have been released without charge, Gardai have confirmed.
Both men were released this morning (Friday, December 21) and a file will be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), a spokesperson for An Garda Siochana said.
