    Im unsure of the full details but I belive there was another sexual attack behind the huntsman inn early on monday morning. Its just over a year since a girl was raped in the same spot and the person for that attack is in custody awaiting trial.

    Makes me feel sick.

    The path was closed off most of Monday morning for forensic examination.

    Why the hell weren't there streetlights put along the path there after the first time.
    For the love of God how many more attacks will it take to get something done about it. They were "promised" by City Hall this time last year.

    You'd think the City Council would have learned the last time.... obviously not!

    Thats a dodgy oul spot in fairness. As mentinoned its a wonder theres no lights put up there. Even as a child (during the day) I used to be freaked cycling along that path.

    It's a bloody handy path though if you're coming from town and late for the EYE. I walks it all the times, I do. Just wishing to find some ****er like that.

    Im sure he would have some sort of weapon (hammer, knife etc).

    I cant belive the council promised lights and never came through. Its a disgrace.

    If they were promised they should have been put up although this isn't the first promise the council would have broken! Never let anybody walk home alone, Galway never seemed to be too bad before but this isn't the first incident and it seems to be happening more and more. hope they catch the ******* and remove him of his tools

    It always amazes me how much a tiny minority doing bad can outdo a majority of good. Not fair

    true, my girlfriends afraid to go running at night now... not that she was too keen on running at night anyway but thats definitely put an end to it.

    awful for the women involved and shame on the council, how long have lights been promised there now?

    I never actually heard about any promises of lights but in fairness to them they did keep the grass cut after that incident (it used to be up to my knees and easy to hide in i guess).

    I wouldn't feel safe walking through there at night, the space is too open, no light, potential for someone to come at you from any direction and plenty of walls and oversized monumental rocks to hide behind.
