Gardaí arrested eight people today, seven men and one woman, over the brawl at the cemetery on September 22.

They are due to appear before a sitting of Tuam District Court at 5:30pm on Monday evening.

More than 30 Gardaí, including the regional armed support unit and officers from across the north west, were needed to break up the violent disorder at the cemetery.
