One of Ireland’s most feared rapists has been forced to flee his lair after being barred from the local pub when staff learned of his vile past.

Evil David McCartan (34), who broke into the homes of his victims before violently raping them, had been staying in an apartment in a small town in Longford since his release from Arbour Hill prison in March of last year.

“He had been staying in an apartment in the town … basically living off benefits as far as anyone could see,” a local business owner told the Sunday World.

“He was going round 24/7 in a tracksuit and he drank in a local pub.

“He’d gotten friendly with one local and he told him he’d moved down because the rent in Dublin was too much for him.

“Then, early last week, word got round about who he was and his past.

“People looked him up and they saw the interview one of his victims had done with your paper and that was enough.

“He went into the pub and was told he was barred.

“The fella behind the bar made it clear to him that his kind wasn’t wanted up here.

“The next day he was gone … and as far as people in this town are concerned he can stay gone.”
