Concern over ‘shifting’ Facebook pages

A WORRYING trend of college “shifting” pages has taken over social networking site Facebook.

The pages, which appear to have been set up by students, show fellow students “shifting”, a word often used for kissing, and carrying out various acts of foreplay. The sites urge students to upload, tag and identify the people carrying out the acts.

Pages have been created for colleges including Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology, NUI Maynooth, UCD, University of Limerick, UCC and Sligo IT.
