The Irish Gardaí are investigating an alleged sexual assault at the Oxegen Festival.
It's claimed the incident took place on the opening night (July 11) and follows the arrest of a juvenile in connection with a different alleged sexual assault on Thursday night (10) in the build-up to the festival, reports RTE.
The teenager from the earlier assault was later released, with a report to be sent to Ireland's Director Of Public Prosecutions.
There have also been several arrests for public order and drugs offences throughout the weekend.
