    It could be vital to tracking down a suspect.

    Lucky for you, you don't need to track down a suspect.
    There are professionals out there for that, let them investigate it.

    We need the following if possible

    CCTV images
    Identikit Photos
    Hair color
    Clothes
    Skin tone

    As much info as possible is required.

    It could be vital to tracking down a suspect.

    3 girls get sexually assisted and you guys make jokes? Nice. Keep it classy. I see the usual suspects giving you guys thanks…

    The whole area was cordoned off Sunday morning with Gardai collecting evidence. Just because they haven't released information doesn't mean they are doing nothing.

    I never said thst. I was replying to someone who said they couldn't take descriptions from kids. I'd guess they already have.

    And here you are offended by the thread and that people can see through the sympathy facade and know what the actual point of the thread is.

    Bit weird that the various news articles aren’t giving descriptions of the perpetrators

    It is believed a group of men were responsible for the attack.

    The Gardai have only said that the allegations are “credible”. It’s possible that nothing happened at all. Why can’t people just wait until there are some established facts.
    While I’m at it, why are young girls wandering around a town they don’t know unsupervised after midnight?

    Well according to some posters on the forum, if it's a rightwing controlled township then it should have been perfectly safe.

    George Hook asked a similar sort of question regarding young women getting too drunk and he was sacked from his job. Tread carefully.

    Not everyone is born to responsible parents, it doesn't make them fair game.

    So you agree

    why are young girls wandering around a town they don’t know unsupervised after midnight?

    Is a valid question and nowhere near on par with what GH said?

    A 17 year old is still a child and yet you would see so many out.

    Not all teenagers do as they’re told, there’s no need to victim blame this is a horrific gang rape on children,

    Of course I agree. They shouldn't be out without adult supervision. However the point I made was somepeople will see that as 'victim blaming' for even suggesting that.

    I wonder are Boys A and B from the Kriegel case considered "immigrants" by some. There was no description released for them either after all.....

    TBH a lot of descriptions are fairly generic and at night it's possible the girls didn't see anything noteworthy about these men or boys.

    It's a touchy subject and with good reason. Best leave it be IMHO.
