The incident happened yesterday as the officer attempted to break up a row between several inmates. 

The officer was brought to hospital with her injuries, which are not life-threatening. One of the officer’s colleagues also suffered a broken wrist during the incident. 

The Prison Officers’ Association has called for an increase in resources to help tackle serious incidents such as these. 

Gardaí are investigating the incident.
