Landlords targeted in crackdown on antisocial students

Gardaí are planning to track down rogue landlords who are ignoring alcohol-fuelled problems caused by third-level student tenants in Cork.

It was one of several actions outlined at a meeting of Cork City Council Joint Policing Committee yesterday on plans to crack down on antisocial behaviour blighting residential areas around University College Cork (UCC) and Cork Institute of Technology (CIT).

But action must also be taken at a national level to curb the sale of cheap alcohol, gardaí said.
