Woman flashed while running in Tralee raises safety concerns

A woman exercising along Tralee’s River Run was flashed by a man, prompting her to call the Gardaí.

The incident occurred on Sunday when journalist Sinead Kelleher, of The Kerryman, was returning from her run. She said she saw a white male standing off the pathway with his hands cupped around his genitals, exposing himself briefly before she could react.

Kelleher reported the incident to the Gardaí, who responded sympathetically and said they would send a patrol to the area. She said her aim in speaking out was to highlight that such harassment does happen and to urge increased patrols to deter future incidents.

She described feeling nervous about returning to the park, noting that the experience left her uncertain about walking there again.
