A two-month-old baby and two women are in hospital after a domestic dispute in a house.
Gardai said two teenagers were arrested during the incident, which also left a man needing treatment.
It is understood the six adults and three children in the property on Pearse Terrace, Westport, Co Mayo, were members of the Travelling community.
The Health Service Executive has been notified about the incident.
A Garda spokesman said officers were called to reports of public disorder and assault at the house.
"Two males in their late teens were arrested," he said.
"A couple in their late teens and their two-month-old male child where taken from the scene to Mayo General Hospital and transferred to University College Hospital in Galway.
"The female has a serious facial injury and the male and baby where taken to hospital as a precaution. Another woman in her early 20s was treated at the scene for minor injuries."
The teenagers remain in custody under Section 4 of The Criminal Justice Act 1984 at Westport Garda Station.
Gardai said the incident is currently under investigation.
