Irish police are investigating allegations from a 16-year-old girl that she was gang raped and sexually assaulted in different locations in Limerick and Cork, reports the Irish Independent.

The girl, who gave a statement to Limerick police this week, claims she was raped and sexually abused by several men over a six hour period on February 1. The girl was examined at a sexual assault clinic in Limerick.

The assaults allegedly occurred in the Bruff area in Co Limerick and near Charleville in Co Cork.

Last time I went back,I was informed of this filth..but hey.who brings these women in ..I hope it is not the Irish. Ireland must rid itself of ALL asylum seekers now. I know that the Nigerian barbershop on Parnell,has five back rooms and they sell drugs. Send them all back,,do not ask do it.Do you want to be like America? Then demand they go home.

RocknReel: "-The Irish Tourist Board do certainly NOT portray Ireland as a Land of Leprauchans drinking Stout, or in what decade were you last on Irish " Here's an example of the stupidity of some Irish. This fool is telling an American that he, the American doesn't know how Ireland is advertized in the US. What an utter dope you are, RocknReel. How the hell do you know how Ireland is markeeted here? Can you even read? I described how Ireland is marketed in the US, how would a dumbell like you squatting in some Irish pub know whether I am right or wrong? I bet you've never been outside Ireland except to go to some English ballpark and scream for Manchester or Southampton. Moron.

IrelandNorth, I dont believe all I read but i believe my family when I hear about relatives who were abused by priests and when I watch interviews with people from the 1 in 4 group or when I hear stats from the rape crisis centre. It wasnt a miniscule minority of priests either, it was ENDEMIC in the priesthood.

GeorgeDillon! You're right to a point. But don't do a pendulum swing by going to the other extreme. We're no worse or better than any other liberal democratic open market dominated by accountants posing as politicians. ciaradexy! "Priests haven't been raping children for decades here ...", even if an over-reported miniscule minority may have been over the millenia. It's merely sensationalist press marketing a product called "news", whilst engaging in a spot of historical revisionsism and designer propaganda. As my dear mother used to say, (Lord rest her):"Don't believe all you hear, and even less of what you read. Newspaper don't refuse ink."

George Dillon -The Irish Tourist Board do certainly NOT portray Ireland as a Land of Leprauchans drinking Stout, or in what decade were you last on Irish soil -if ever ? It just goes to show that there are some people on here who have absolutely no clue of the real Ireland and happily peddle their fantasy's on forums like this to those daft enough to believe it. Thankfully, Ireland has moved on in the world unlike other places I could mention. Of course theres is crime and criminals in Ireland but nothing on the same scale as parts of the Usa and crimes such as this are in the minority so get off your high horse about the ugly face of modern Ireland. You obviously have a large chip on your should judging by your posts on Irish central--wonder what happened to you to end up so twisted and bitter ?

I could you sound any less doubtful of the situation. You used allegedly, claimed, allegedly and allegations all of which are words casting doubt on the situation. Is that because the victim wasn't Irish as one reader mentioned? The tone of the article in offensive.

'' I have to congratulate Irish Central for showing the ugly face of Modern Ireland.'' This was happening to young girls in Ireland back in the 40, 50s, 60s and up. Is this news to you? Priests have been raping children for decades here!

RobbCobb: In case you're unaware, you should know that the accused in that case are her fellow Eastern Europeans.

Here is the ugly face of the Modern USA.~ 17.6 % of women in the United States have survived a completed or attempted rape. Of these, 21.6% were younger than age 12.The FBI estimates that only 37% of all rapes are reported to the police.

Is this poor girl going to get jailed and victimized by the courts again, as was the Eastern European gal that was similarly raped and brutalized at the end of 2011? Shameful.

I have to congratulate Irish Central for showing the ugly face of Modern Ireland. I try to do the same in my posts. The Irish Tourist Board would like to portray an Ireland of leprechauns drinking stout and exchanging witticisms in Quiet Man type pubs. The reality of today's Ireland is different, much more sinister. There was another absolutely horrendous rape case near Limerick maybe four years ago. One of the perpetrators had the good grace to commit suicide subsequently.
