AN Australian woman found in Ireland confused and virtually unable to communicate could be at risk if she's released from care, an Irish court has been told.
The 25-year-old, described as vulnerable, had been in the country for three weeks before being found on Dublin's O'Connell Street - the Irish capital's main shopping thoroughfare - in a distressed state.
She had been in Ireland visiting a relative before going missing.
She was found on October 10 by police on routine patrol.
Her identity remained a mystery as she appeared to have very few words of English since being taken into care and drew some pictures to communicate.
A High Court hearing to decide how she should be cared for has been told she has a history of psychiatric issues.
The court heard a non-direct relation, who has lived with someone directly related to the woman, identified her after a photograph was circulated through media worldwide.
She had stayed with the man before her disappearance.
It was initially thought the girl was aged only 14 or 15 and European.
A consultant paediatric psychiatrist who assessed the woman told the court he believed she was vulnerable and staff were liaising with adult services.
Contact between authorities in Ireland and Australia has also indicated the woman has a history of psychiatric issues.
A breakthrough in finding the woman's identity came on Tuesday night, less than 10 hours after a photograph of the woman was released.
Sergeant David Gallagher, of Store Street Garda Station, said it came as a direct result of the picture being released yesterday and circulated worldwide.
"She's an Australian national and has lived there at a number of addresses," he said.
The Australian Federal Police confirmed it received a request for assistance from Irish authorities through Interpol.
