Gardaí are hunting a beast who raped a teenage girl hours after the end of the Rose of Tralee festival.
The victim, who is just 17, was attacked in the centre of the Co Kerry town in the early hours of yesterday.
The attack happened in the Tralee Town Park area – around 10 minutes from the Kerry Sports Campus where the Rose of Tralee took place. The area is believed to be a wooded part of the park and was close to where thousands of people had earlier spent the night socialising as part of the famous Midnight Madness - the annual celebration of the festival.
