What would you have done?

I would have put my phone on audio record and asked he was she ok or did she need assistance.
If the answers concerned me, I'd have then called the Gardai.

If someone I cared about was in such a situation, I'd like to think someone would be good willed enough to help them.

If she was actually disorientated, and completely alone, I'd have stopped. Tipsy and making tracks home is different, that's character building but if I thought she was going to hurt herself getting home or she looking like she was in very bad shape, I'd stop to see if I could help. I know it's generally a risk but I until I get burnt on it, I'll probably stay the same way.

But I'd actually find that if it was a guy, they'd need to be visibly in trouble. double standards I know but that's the way I am

It's a hard one as she was highly vulnerable. But the
poor girl and many other young people are walking up and down Ireland's streets on early Sunday mornings "out of it" as well. Indoor gatherings / house parties are still going on where there is plenty of drink and drugs being consumed I can assure you.

But if there were a group of males following her or a highly suspicious scene going on I would be expecting some degree of intervention from myself or anyone else i.e call the Guards etc.

I would have likely ignored the situation as well, knowing what I know of young wans who are out of it. plus I'd be expecting a "**** off ya prick"too.

I really hope my daughter is never in this situation, but if she is I really hope she meets someone more caring than you shower of useless fu¢ks. Yes, I would have stopped to see if that girl needed help.

I have a daughter too and also hope she never ends up like this, as I'm sure most parents do. If I had a son, I'd advise him not to get involved either, in order to protect himself from false allegations.

Is that the way society has gone? Is there a load of incidents where people have been accused of stuff for trying to help people that I've missed?

There was an incident in my area a while back, there was this woman in her 20s. Anyway she crying and babbling and well jarred, (it seems she was arguing with her fella). Anyway this guy(who's actually gay). Decided to see if this girl is alright. But along comes this girls fella who sees her talking to the good Samaritan. When the boyfriend starts to mouth off, the girl starts screaming she's being molested by the good Samaritan.
Now this issue could've been a lot worse, because the girlfriend wanted the guards, the boyfriend wanted to fight the good Samaritan. But unknownst to the three participants in the arguement, their were other people watching this action taking place. They intervened and not only put the boyfriend straight, but also called the guards. Now the witnesses saved the good Samaritan. But what if they weren't there. Who would the police have believe?

It is awful that we find ourselves in this age where this question is even considered, I'm sure most of us have helped out women for various reasons on the very basis that someone would do the same for our sisters or partners etc.

But let us not forget -

Syl Roche, and elderly man well known in Dublin, posed for a photograph having being asked by a woman he didn't know, she would go on to falsely accuse him of sexual assault (without consequences), the garda file was approved by the DPP and it made into a court and the national news cycle despite the existence of video footage that exonerated him.

A number of perfectly innocent male teachers arrived at work in Carlow last Tuesday morning as per usual, by the end of the day they were being shamed nationally and internationally by politicians, "journalists" and angry feminists as perverts and paedos.

Every man has to ask himself how much risk is he willing to expose himself to in this day and age, I have seen it first hand, I have seen an innocent man who gave up his free time to coach young women be falsely accused of sexual assault.

You made the right call OP, chivalry is thing of the past.

Unless the incident took place in a field in the back of the beyonds they'd check the CCTV.

Sounds like it happened away from CCTV pal. Not everywhere is covered by CCTV..

The guards would likely believe the girl, who turned out to be absolute scum. There are too many incidents where lads get blamed for things like this, best to avoid unfortunately.

Unfortunately it's not so black and white, a random drunk woman or girl, call the cops is the best option but if you get involved no matter how good intentioned it might not play out so well.
Harsh times

Bull****. It is that black and white. If her condition is such that it alarms you enough to think you should stop, you should fu¢kin well stop. Dealing with what happens next is up to you, when it happens, but this opt-out crap I'm seeing on here is just awful.

I call bull**** on your post and calm down there, we are all entitled to our own opinions
