The woman is recovering from a recent hospitalisation and wants the local Council officials and members, the Garda liaison officer and the Resident’s Association to come together to protect the citizens in the area. The victim wants the parents of the culprit to engage with her and says the safety of everyone is at stake and can only be addressed by people in the community coming together.
