Harassment campaign against student at University of Limerick
A troubling incident of harassment targeting a female student at the University of Limerick has drawn significant attention. A WhatsApp group of 200 young men was reportedly created to focus on Ella Deasy, who faced frightening harassment at her on-campus housing. The harassment included having eggs thrown at her residence and disturbing her during the night. Reports indicate that her attackers knew her specific room number, making the situation even more alarming. The student union expressed serious concern about the events, stating this behavior contradicts the values of respect and safety expected on campus. Ella Deasy has since left the university and transitioned into a career as a social media influencer with a large following on TikTok. The university has stated that it takes student welfare seriously and is ready to increase security measures to protect its students.
