    Anyone see the horrendous news today about the female cyclist viciously attacked in clondalkin??? It came to my mind while reading through the article that a notorious criminal from that area was released from prison recently... I know he has a history of attacks on women maybe there could be a connection there...

    However the media are saying their is sensitivities around the suspects descriptions, whatever thats supposed to mean...:confused:

    In fairness I think it is important to the whole country. Maybe it will spur someone with some information to go to the gaurds.

    I seen the police are asking for any dash cam footage from the area (not sure of the times) but if anyone has any please submit it.

    Strange thing to ask for in a case like this...

    Why? It was just off the road. Someone may have captured them going there or leaving.

    You wouldn't know who'd be traveling around there.

    I don't know it just seemed a little strange... If anyone caught it on their dash cam they must have seen it so why didn't they stop and help?
    Someone being in the area is not enough for a charge there must be more to it than that...

    It's not enough for a conviction of course but it's enough to try identify people who were in the area and then look at eliminating them as suspects.

    God help this poor woman, I can't imagine the terror. I'll certainly be very cautious for the time being. Very scary.

    The thing I find most bizarre is the "sensitivities" around the description...

    What pathetic creatures do this to someone. Hope justice is done and the woman in question is getting the best help.

    Hardly, it's just so people can have a good gossip about it

    Even if they didn't see the attack they may have seen a gang of scrotes disappearing there 15 minutes prior, this type of thing. And even if the driver cannot see anything in the footage themselves they can still bring it for the guards to review, compare etc. It's potentially useful.

    I read earlier she was raped by a number of people while out cycling. Absolute scum of the earth.

    Or maybe a description would give away who the particular individual is.

    One little detail about a certain persons features and the whole country will know its him...

    Accosted by three, raped by one, not that it makes it much better.

    (not racist)

    You wouldn't tell if the individual was muslim or not based on appearance... Muslims come from all races and ethnicities... I would say a good description could very well point in an individuals direction and that is where the sensitivities come into play... Never got a fair trial and all that...

    Mod: Tomofson - Knock it off with the disingenuous hinting about the potential identity of (one of) the attackers. I'm sure more information will come out in the coming days.

    TheDarter - Don't.

    According to reports I've read the lady was either pushing the bike or cycling at around 3am.

    I wouldn't even drive that road at that hour. Sorry if I offended anyone by saying that, but it's the truth.

    Just realised the thread title makes it look like a woman tried to attack Clondalkin.

    It's not because they think someone drove by while it happened, it's that it may help identify vehicles, people etc around the area at the time and rule them in or out as suspects.

    I doubt you would offend anyone by saying that, its a dangerous area thats well known, a lot of bogey characters entering and leaving at all times.

    Saying that though I wouldn't say its the most dangerous in the Dublin region.

    You must find driving anywhere nearly impossible presumably.
