Speaking to local station KCLR, Superintendent Gerry Redmond says anyone information should come forward.

"We're appealing for witnesses from any persons or people who were at that bonfire, or passed by the bonfire, or passed by the laneways and housing estates near that bonfire at Fr Cummins Park - or were seen in conversation with anybody around that bonfire and that think they may be able to help us with our inquires.

"We're talking about a very serious assault on a young girl."
