Councillors fight students’ annual ‘bingeing fiasco’

POLITICIANS have united to oppose college students’ plans for a “daytime alcohol bingeing fiasco” which wreaked havoc in a Cork suburb last year.

Six councillors in the south-west ward signed a letter yesterday criticising the decision by students of Cork Institute of Technology (CIT) to hold their so-called “Christmas Day” celebration again this year.

Despite what the councillors called the “disturbing fallout” from last year’s event, it is due to take place again this year on November 26.
