Caoimhe Haughey

I was screaming for help, literally screaming for help.

I was afraid what was coming next so I just put my head in my hands for fear I was going to get kicked in the head and I did manage to dial 999 on my phone and thankfully the guards did arrive and in fairness they took me home.

I don't live in Dublin, I live outside Dublin but they took me the whole way home.

They were keen for me to do a statement, but to be honest with you, Ciarán, I was too afraid because my office is right beside where I was assaulted.

The people who congregate outside this facility are fairly regular.

So I was afraid that if I did proceed with any statement or investigation that there would be ramifications.

But the other thing just to say to your listeners, what really...

struck me when I was lying on the ground.

I could see black runners very close beside me.

I just kind of looked through my fingers and looked up slightly and there was a man dressed in black holding his phone, recording me as I was lying on the ground and screaming.

Another incident in March of this year, which is

kind of in keeping with the figures that have been released today.

I was coming back from an International Women's Day event on Harcourt Street, hosted by actually the president of the Law Society, I'm a solicitor, Rosemary Loftus.

Lovely evening, great atmosphere, you know, all of that.

I decided to walk back to the office again.

Obviously it was dark, came down Camden Street, turned left onto Upper Kevin Street.

There was a gentleman, sorry, I won't say a gentleman, a man walking

On a bike, I'm not sure if it was an electric bike, but it was a big bike.

He was big, all dressed in black, and he was on the footpaths, going at a fairly, you know, going at a pace.

And I kind of looked up and I had to jump to the right, nearly onto the road.
