An Garda Síochána said they are continuing to investigate all the circumstances of an alleged assault that is reported to have occurred in the Slieve League/ Killybegs area of County Donegal between Saturday June 24 and Sunday June 25.

The areas preserved in Slieve League to facilitate the investigation over the course of the past week have now been lifted and the area has fully reopened to the public.

In an update issued on Sunday, a garda spokesperson said: “This Garda investigation remains ongoing and an incident room has been established at Ballyshannon Garda station under the direction of a Senior Investigating Officer.

"Any road users travelling in these areas at these times who may have camera footage (including dash-cam) are asked to make this footage available to Gardaí.

"Anyone with any information is asked to contact Ballyshannon Garda Station on 071 985 8530, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda station.”

Last week two people, a male aged in his 30s and a female aged in her 20s, were arrested in connection with the investigation but were later released without charge.

Slieve League, located on the west coast of south Donegal, is a popular destination with visitors and has the highest sea cliffs in Europe.
