Dundrum Garda Station, Dublin
The Irish Times reports:
A sportsman has been questioned and released after being arrested in connection with an alleged sexual assault in Dublin last month.
He was arrested by appointment at Dundrum Garda station on Thursday night. Gardaí also took DNA samples from the man with his consent.
The alleged assault happened on the night of December 9th or early the next morning, when a complaint was made to gardaí. The woman has since made a formal statement to investigators, on foot of which the man was arrested.

He’ll do nothin’
The Irish Times, the so-called paper of record, reported late last month that this case was unlikely to progress.
They’ve now been scooped by the Irish Daily Star, a newspaper that advertises numerous adult chat line services.
Just saying..
Surely “sportsperson” if the IT was genuinely interested in due legal process.
Bodger how closely are you watching the comments on this article?
Like for example if I was to be silly and get banned.
Wow well done Bodger! Live comment editing.
Now who wasn’t posting on their twitter yesterday?
Funny how the newspapers named Deputy Clare Daly when she was arrested and handcuffed on suspicion of drink driving (totally exonerated a few hours later). But this “prominent sportsman” remains anonymous despite publicity in similar cases encouraging other victims to come forward.
Funny.
Probably from ‘a good family’
Anyone following the Dublin rumor mill knows who the sportsman is.
Funny how Eoin can’t tell the difference between being questioned and being charged
Whats your point?
A taxi driver told me about this sportsman and his antics aeons ago. Taxi drivers know everything.
For a website obsessed with transparency, its funny that it turns out you can’t actually name this man’s sport :/
ok, broadsheet arent letting me post who it is. weird. its a public forum, BS wont get sued or whatever.
Yeah they will. They are a publisher.
ive tried to post who it was, twice. and they’re not up.
I mean BS are liable if you name him.
Most have already seen the name. Doctor I recommend you look at how social media and blogs are viewed by the judiciary these days for commenting on live cases and condemning individuals who have not been tried or even charged with a crime.
