The victim of an alleged kidnapping attempt in Enniscorthy has spoken of how the experience has “shrunk her world” and made her afraid to do the thing she loves most. Julie Kirwan (42) is an experienced runner and has completed a number of marathons and long-distance events since taking up the sport at the age of 24.
Used to running by herself, Julie was out for an afternoon jog on the afternoon of Friday, April 12 when she encountered two males, one on foot and another in a car. She was on the footpath at St Senan’s Hospital when she says she was “chased by a young man in his twenties” who had a “white Volkswagen Golf working with him to trail me”.
