Residents of a housing estate in Cahir say they will maintain a watch on a residence in the area to ensure that a convicted sex offender doesn’t return.
The man served a prison sentence for the rape of a then 12-year-old boy some years ago.
It’s understood he moved into a house in Woodview last week but left following local opposition.
When locals found out that he was returning this evening, they came out in large numbers in a bid to prevent it.
They have apparently been given assurances that the man will be handing back the keys tomorrow.
