Gardaí in Limerick are seeking witnesses to a serious assault on a woman in the city last week.
The incident took place on the night of the Champions Leage football final and there was a larger crowd in the city than is usual for a normal midweek night.
A Garda spokesman said the attack took place between 12.30am and 2am - a busy time of night for taxi drivers and revellers on their way home.
The victim, a woman in her 40s from the Limerick area, had been socialising in the the city centre with friends and got a taxi at about 12.30am from Liddy Street (adjacent to Sarsfield Street) to travel to the Dooradoyle/Raheen area.
"It is not known were she got out of the taxi, but some time before 2am the woman was seriously assaulted by a male. Following the incident the woman was unable to locate her handbag containing keys and her mobile phone," the spokesman added.
The woman was wearing a black and white striped top with a black waistcoat, white trousers and white sandals. She was carrying a white handbag.
"We are also anxious to hear from anyone who may have come upon the white handbag, keys or mobile phone discarded in any location to contact us," gardaí said.
Gardai at Roxboro Road asked anyone who was in the Dooradoyle/Raheen area at that time, particularly in the St Nessan's Road area, between the Mid-Western Regional Hospital and the Raheen roundabout to contact them.
