Organisers to breathalyse teenagers attending disco

CHILDREN attending a teenage disco are to be breathalysed in an effort to stamp out drinking among young people attending the event.

A voluntary group which organises the disco said it was being forced to take the unprecedented step because it estimated at least one in 10 children trying to get into the event have drink taken.

The breathalyser scheme will be introduced next month at the Town Hall disco in Mitchelstown, Co Cork.
