Update - with the support of Gary Daly, a very kind and comradely solicitor, the tenants are back in the property. However look at the state the private security goons left it in - deliberately smashed up to make it uninhabitable. Remember the Garda watched them do this

This whole article is about the character of a 15 y/o who has been drugged and raped. Not once is the word 'rape' used even though by law it is clearly rape; a 15 y/o cannot consent. Not a word about the character of the men who drugged and abused her.
