The woman, who has young children, is understood to be on life support after surgery to remove pressure from her skull.
Her family are by her side in Beaumont Hospital in Dublin.

They have not confirmed how the woman was injured. No arrests have been made.
Meanwhile, local councillor Paul Bell said: “I would ask people to give gardaí whatever co-operation they can in the course of their investigation.
“The community has expressed to me its deepest concerns and alarm and the depth of its concerns for the health and welfare of the individual now in Beaumont hospital receiving treatment.”
