Gardaí promise ‘zero tolerance’ on antisocial behaviour for RAG week

GARDAÍ warned students to respect local residents and avoid engaging in antisocial behaviour, or else face repercussions, as celebrations commenced yesterday at University College Cork for Raise and Give (RAG) Week.

Anglesea Street-based Supt Barry McPolin said a “zero tolerance” enforcement policy is being implemented to ensure the week passes free of incidents.

RAG Week is a traditional part of the student experience and features entertainment and activities, with money being raised for charity at the same time — but public order issues are often a problem.
