Michael O’Toole of the Irish Daily Star told Newstalk earlier today how the Gardaí found a girl, aged between 14 and 16, on her own and in a distressed state near the GPO in Dublin [above] last week.

He said she doesn’t speak English very well and is communicating by drawing pictures.

Mr O’Toole said she has drawn pictures of herself being sexually abused, men being around her all the time, money changing hands and of her being filmed.

Gardaí are trying to identify the girl, who is now in HSE care.
