Town seeks support of courts to tackle rugby ‘rowdies’

A LARGE Garda operation targeting troublemakers is planned next month to safeguard a hugely successful rugby tournament.

Gardaí in Kinsale, Co Cork, have made a submission to the courts service seeking special court hearings during the Kinsale Sevens tournament which takes place from May 2 to 4.

The move is designed to deal swiftly with offenders. Town authorities sent out a strong warning last night ahead of the tournament’s launch next week — troublemakers are not welcome.
