Bizarre Irish Water question appears on UCC Law exam

First year Law students at University College Cork were surprised to find a colourful question related to Irish Water when they opened their exam papers today.

The first question on today's Criminal Law exam asked students to advise a pair of protesters "as to what criminal charges they might face" having caused the death of an Irish Water employee.

"Ruth and Paul are opposed to water charges. They attend a protest outside the offices of Irish Water in Cork. Ruth paints slogans on the fences around the building and shouts verbal abuse at the workers as they enter the building calling them scum and shouting 'we know who you are, we will get you'.
