However, according to the information I received this incident didn't happen as described, and is being blown out of proportion - that the girl in question was in fact the victim of a prank by other kids in her school/class. Her parents reported the matter to the school and the gardai and it was only later that it was realised that the girl in question knew the kids who had carried this out as some kind of ill-advised prank. I have contacted the community garda for confirmation as to what the details of this case are, so far as they can tell me. Did you get confirmation from the gardai as to the particulars of this case?

They said they have received a lot of similar calls this morning. Will update where once we know what the final outcome is. If the newspaper knew their facts were incorrect and decided to print the story anyway... well, I don't even know where to start with that. :mad:

Just in the last half hour or so.http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=93142581&postcount=2264 She crossed the road TWICE to meet me. She said 'What are you doing here? Why are you here? Go back to where you came from!' I couldn't say anything to her as she continued down the road, this time she didn't stop really. There was a man walking a little further up the road - after, I went up to him to ask if he saw her and/or recognised her, but it turned out he was a non-national and didn't really understand what I was saying so I left it. She was wearing a kind of copper/gold/brown coloured jacket, short, spectacles, mousy-blond-grey-ish hair, she's Irish. More than last time I'm thinking there's definitely mental health issues here, but I wish she would stop picking on me!

The only reason I am putting it out there is to know if this is something that is known about, or if it's something I should be flagging with someone. I may be exasperated by it in the immediate aftermath of one of these incidents, but I don't think that's too out of line when you're being accosted like that.

You have given a very detailed description and she is quite possibly someones mother who has dementia. From and living in the area myself and would know most of the women living in that house and they are gentle as lambs, was.just suggesting she might be being cared for in that house.
