A man has been arrested following an alleged assault of a girl in Dublin.
Gardaí said they were investigating an incident in Saggart on Monday.
The alleged assault was reported in the area of the Citywest Hotel complex, which has been purchased by the Government for the accommodation of international protection applicants.
A man in his 30s has been arrested and is currently detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984 at a garda station in the Dublin region.
Under that legislation, he can be questioned for up to 24 hours.
A Garda spokesperson said investigations are ongoing.
An Garda Síochána also said there had been incorrect reports that the incident involved a fatal stabbing.
