The family of a woman who says she endured a terrifying sexual assault in Dungarvan late Saturday night, say they are angry and upset that Gardaí asked them to take down a social media post informing others that foreigners had been involved.

One family member told Gript that concerns about identifying the attackers as non-Irish seemed to be more important to gardaí than ensuring that other females were aware that they may be in danger.

The post had reported that some time after midnight last Saturday, the woman was coming home from a pub past Dealz in Dungarvan when four adult foreign males pulled her into an alleyway, removed her belt and pulled her pants and underwear down to her ankles.

As she begged them to stop, a woman in a nearby house heard the screaming and ran to her assistance. The post says the men subsequently attacked this woman but she served as enough of a distraction to cause them to flee.

No arrests have been reported.

🚨 Attempted child abduction in Dublin 1.

A Dublin woman has posted that at around 9:45pm on Monday a foreign man dragged a young girl into a red van at the junction of Yarnhall Street & Henrietta place off Bolton St in the north inner city.

The girl managed to escape the van and ran into the flats screaming but the man chased after her and tried to drag her back out.

After two separate neighbours went to investigate the commotion, the man fled on foot. It is believed CCTV footage from a pub managed to record the incident.

Video taken at scene show the van parked on Yarnhall St subsequently being on fire.

Locals have expressed horror, especially as so many of their children play around that area.

"It's absolutely heartbreaking for the young girls growing up, that's who I'm afraid for. It's disgraceful. This government just does not give two shites about Irish people. May god forgive them for letting all these dirty filthy scumbags in. No one is safe any more. Sad times."
