Student house parties are continuing to be a problem in Cork city during Freshers' Week. Gardaí said they responded to call-outs to five house parties last night where there were upwards of between 20 and 40 people in attendance, despite calls for students to behave responsibly.
While the number of incidents were fewer than on Sunday night, gardaí remain concerned given the huge concentration of students having recently returned to rental accommodation in areas around University College Cork.
It comes as there was condemnation of large groups of students in Galway who gathered in that city last night despite restrictions due to the coronavirus pandemic.
