Every accusation should be followed up - regardless of whoever the alleged perpetrator is.
The simple fact is though that the Gardai had no way of knowing initially whether this happened or not and made sure to make sure the alleged attacker was not described by skin colour. If you are looking for someone it helps to know what they look like!!
Same as when no description of the wanted attacker is published, sadly it is now shorthand for "foreigner".
If we are truly to be an equal society, everyone in it should be treated the same - no matter where you are from originally.

By all accounts,the gaurds did follow this up as regards CCTV particularly dealz,the shops on O'Connell Street looking up the lane,as well as oconnoll lane coming out at kielys garage,and spoke to several people in the corporation houses alongside and approached nearby sheltered housing for footage aswell...
but found info scant coming from public, because they aren't wanted about the area and people are reluctant to draw em onto em nowadays.....little point in demanding gaurds do x,y and z,when public don't trust em,hence why some credence was given to the report initially....
dungarvan used have a long history of Lithuanians and poles at the blaggarding that was alleged here,and half em had to be forced out years ago,they'd have no issue doing it again,but they won't do it,for clout for some clowns on tiktok pushing trouble on the area
