Abstract
In this companion article to [HKK24], we apply the theory of equivariant Poincar\'e duality developed there in the special case of cyclic groups of prime order to remove, in a special case, a technical condition given by Davis--L\"uck [DL24] in their work on the Nielsen realisation problem for aspherical manifolds. Along the way, we will also give a complete characterisation of --Poincar\'e spaces as well as introduce a genuine equivariant refinement of the classical notion of virtual Poincar\'e duality groups which might be of independent interest.
