Concerns mount in Glenville after convicted rapist is released

Concerns are mounting among locals in the Glenville area who fear a convicted rapist who has returned to the area upon early release from prison last week won't be recognised. Patrick 'Lolo' O'Driscoll was released three years early from a 17 year sentence for the rape of a woman in 2000. Locals are now calling for a fresh batch of pictures to be published after the 47-year-old was spotted and photographed in the village on a sulky. A community surveillance system organised by residents is now in operation to ensure their children are watched at all times. Speaking on the Neil Prendeville Show photographer with the Irish Mirror Eddie says locals are afraid people won't recognise since he was last photographed 14 years ago Click PLAY to hear audio
