A Czech national living in Killarney, Co Kerry, who wore a green hoodie on the night of the 2014 All-Ireland football final, was identified by gardaí as the chief suspect in an enquiry in which a 26-year-old woman claimed she was violently raped and gave a detailed description of her “foreign, tanned-skinned” attacker who spoke English with a foreign accent.

A woman who went to gardaí after a night out in Killarney and gave a detailed account of being raped by “a Pakistani-looking” man in a green hoodie, at the rear of the town’s courthouse, withdrew her complaint two and a half weeks later after being shown images from CCTV which depicted her in the company of an Irish man with a receding hairline whom she knew.

A 26-year-old woman is on trial at Tralee Circuit Criminal Court accused of knowingly making a false report of being raped by a foreign national in a Killarney car park.
