Five teenagers have been arrested in connection with an alleged rape of a 15-year-old girl.

Gardaí say that the teenage boys, aged between 14 and 16, are being questioned in connection with the alleged rape of a girl at a house in south Dublin after a night out.

It is understood the alleged attack took place earlier this year after a night out. The girl says that she had returned to the house with a number of other teenagers she had met that evening.

She claims that after becoming intoxicated she went to an upstairs room to sleep. It was after this that the five boys sexually assaulted her.

Garda say that the girl named her attackers, leading to the arrests.
