Debs ‘joke’ sparks debate on teenage sex

WHAT was supposed to be a harmless graduation night joke has sparked a national debate on morals and teenage sex.

The graduates of a Cork girl’s school went to their debs ball last night in high spirits. However, a debate raged all around them about whether they were right to place free condoms on the tables.

The ball was organised at the Montenotte Hotel by a committee of friends who graduated from St Vincent’s Secondary School last June.
