I understand what you mean but there has been 2 other much more serious attacks on young girls and women by groups of new arrivals. They were deliberately suppressed at request in the media to avoid raising tensions in the area. I appreciate that but safety of local women and girls should be priority. Sometimes people should have all the information. In short do not let girls or women walk unaccompanied at any time of the day as culturally in other countries with more robust religions women and girls who go out without a man are somehow deemed to be worthless harlots. Hopefully Gardaí can be given the resources (overtime) to let it be known in the area that attacking random women and girls is not normal behaviour and not acceptable in Ireland.

Interesting, I wasn’t aware of the request for the details to be suppressed. Any official word of the request from the Gardaí, or the media who accepted the request? Come to think of it, why would responsible media accept such a request?

David that happens all the time. It’s not always complied with. For example Nóirín wanted the images of the Recency Hotel with the 2 men with AK47′s entering the hotel suppressed from the front pages the next day. They raided the photographers home with a court order to recover the data but a copy had been made and it went to print. In hostage situations Gardaí also ask media to withhold information so as not to escalate the situation and or give away Garda positions at the scene (see Paris supermarket attack)

Tallaght took an awful hit with ‘enrichers’ it’s practically a ghetto in some parts
