A famous Irish sports star allegedly sexually assaulted a young woman near a West Dublin pub on Friday night.
It’s understood that the woman made a complaint to gardai on Saturday morning.
Gardai have confirmed to Dublin Live that they are investigating the alleged assault that happened around 9pm on Friday.
They said in a statement: "Gardaí in Crumlin are investigating an alleged sexual assault of a woman that occurred, Friday 11th October, 2019 at approximately 9pm on Drimnagh Road, Dublin 12.
"Investigations are ongoing and no arrests have been made at this time.
"Owing to the nature of the investigation we will not be commenting further at this time."
It’s understood that the same well-known sports star is being investigated for the alleged rape of a married woman at a Dublin hotel back in December 2018.
A file on that investigation is being prepared for the Director of Public Prosections.
