Gardaí are appealing for information following an alleged assault on a woman which happened near Cappagh Road in Finglas, Co Dublin, in the early hours of Friday morning.

Investigating gardaí are looking to speak to a taxi driver who picked up a fare from a white man and white woman at around 1.30am on that particular morning.

Both passengers were driven from a location in Dublin’s South inner city and taken to Cappagh Road in Finglas, Dublin 11. The taxi is believed to have travelled to Finglas via the industrial estate in Ballycoolin.

The passengers in the vehicle are described as being a white woman, aged in her 20s and a white man, also aged in his 20s.

The woman had blonde hair and was wearing high boots, a pink blazer and a black jacket. The man was of average height and build and was wearing a red top with blue jeans.

The taxi driver or anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to come forward and contact Finglas Garda Station on 01 6667500, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda Station.

No arrests have been made. Investigations are ongoing.

An Garda Síochána said they were aware of a significant volume of misinformation and disinformation in circulation regarding this investigation.

Gardaí said they were following a definite line of enquiry and were not looking for anyone else at this time.
