An army chaplain, Father Paul Murphy from Waterford, was stabbed multiple times outside Renmore Barracks in Galway, Ireland. The incident, described as a terrorist incident, occurred late Thursday evening, and a 16-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with the attack. The chaplain, who is in his 50s, was visiting the barracks in his capacity as an army chaplain. Following the attack, soldiers reportedly opened fire to subdue the suspect. Father Murphy is currently in a serious condition in hospital after undergoing surgery. Irish police are investigating the incident as a potential terrorist attack, with reports suggesting the suspect may have been radicalized online and shouted complaints about Irish involvement in Mali.
