    No, but some very basic info regarding descriptions of the alleged perpetrators can be obtained immediately.

    And bringing asylum seekers into the thread when you have no basis to do so would indicate you have a pretty clear agenda.

    That's not true. There are asylum seekers being housed in the Courtown hotel.

    It has just as much basis in speculation as the claim of Travellers having been responsible or anyone else.

    Sorry that hurts your agenda of trying to smear other posters.

    Initially I thought it was strange that they didn’t release the description, but now it makes total sense to me.

    For a start, it seems like the Gardaí know exactly who they are looking for, and as such don’t need the public’s assistance identifying them.

    And secondly, the last thing they need is to be dealing with follow-up vigilante attacks, which would seem likely going by what’s being posted here.

    The girls are being cared for and dealt with by specialist teams, the rapists are being pursued by the appropriate law enforcement teams.

    Your input isn’t needed, nor is it helpful.

    That goes without saying but if a gang of travellers are responsible for a savage rape Id prefer to know so I can tell my child to watch out for them. Anything that narrows down who it was makes us all safer

    You need to be warning your child on a very regular brainwashing type basis to take responsibility for their own personal safety by following a fairly simple set of general rules which used to be fairly common place. You as a parent need to take the entire responsibility for the safety of and behavior of your dependent child as that is your job as a parent.
    It’s not somebody else’s job.
    I don’t know why this has to be explained over and over.

    Are you talking about the op-ed piece on the front page?

    Let’s tell Varadkar loud and clear that we won’t have any more of our girls gangbanged by men of a different culture who actually think they are entitled to do it


    An interesting take on the topic. Probably best to wait for a journalist to report on it though.

    The kilkenny journal is run by an American neo nazi. Google his name and see what comes up. Very unpleasant human being.

    So now I read that it was travellers , probably follows that the girls were also travellers so. It is so wrong that this "Grabbing " as they call it still goes on in 2019. However the fact that this time a complaint was made to the Gardai just goes to show that these disgusting "traditions" are finally being seen for what they are. No longer do traveller women have to accept this.

    Not necessarily traveller girls, young settled girls taken in by the designer labels and sharp haircuts either.

    Of course he doesn't and even if he did, more people in a country means more crimes committed overall, it doesn't matter what colour they are - if there was an extra 200,000 white people in the country, there'd be more crime, including more rapes.
    Incorrect (by at least 300%), and also very lazy, unfounded presumption to make.

    Why not take a quick look at proportional representation, for the prison population (also for rapes) across in engerland & wales, then get back with a summary of your findings.

    Maybe explain why a certain group or ideology (there are at least two), that have three times (x3) or more - locked up than these 'white people' that you refer to.

    The easy default excuse may of course be the old 'poverty' excuse.

    Of course such ideologies only promote further poverty upon themselves. Without asking difficult questions or challenging their core views, nothing will change.

    That still is not a basis to speculate that it was a refugee... It's more a pretty racist leap than anything else.

    Taken from the Irish Times today:

    "Contrary to misinformation on certain social media accounts, there is nothing to suggest asylum seekers from a nearby emergency accommodation facility were involved in the incident."

    I dont think there is any basis for anyone to be saying they know who is responsible.

    No I had made a mistake it was from the Kilkenny Journal , I just knew I had seen it somewhere, by the looks of the rest of the paper it looks like it was written back in the 1940s though.

    I'm sorry but what sort of person reads the Kilkenny Journal, mistakes it for a mainstream newspaper and then, the icing on the cake, comes and posts the 'information' on a discussion forum?

    The Kilkenny J0urnal is the work of one well known bat-**** crazy type who gets quoted as people not paying attention tend to mistake it with the Kilkenny People - an actual newspaper.

    Just another reminder that 3 girls were sexually assaulted, including one of them who was raped.

    It seems more people give a **** about hoping it was asylum seekers or travellers so they can spew their ****e.

    Another post which completely ignores the victims of this attack and focuses on arguing about the ethnicity of the attackers when none of us have any idea.

    Thank you for proving my point.

    More a case of hoping that truth beats presumptive race based fiction.
