Gardaí seek to identify possible trafficking victim, 14

Gardaí will issue a photograph this morning of a teenage girl who may have been trafficked here in a bid to uncover her identity.

The girl, thought to be 14, was found two weeks ago in a distressed state outside the GPO in Dublin. She was subsequently taken into care.

Permission was granted in the High Court for the gardaí to issue a photograph of the girl as part of a potential media appeal, but gardaí waited until yesterday before making the decision to go ahead with a media appeal.
