A Garda crackdown on a controversial student drinking festival, which had wreaked havoc in a Cork suburb, has been hailed a complete success.
There were just four arrests during the so-called Christmas Day event in Bishopstown last Thursday — compared to 24 during last year’s event.
And gardaí in the area received 17 calls from the public about student-related behaviour, compared to almost 90 last year.
Superintendent Charlie Barry, who led the crackdown, thanked local publicans, off-licence owners and the students at Cork Institute of Technology (CIT) for their cooperation.
