Six youths in dumper joyride on school site

A group of Limerick youths left a trail of destruction during a joyriding escapade with a dumper.

The six, all aged 14 and 15, were questioned by gardaí in Roxboro yesterday about the incident, which resulted in tens of thousands of euro worth of damage.

They entered the grounds of Galvone school, which Finance Minister Michael Noonan turned the sod on this month, at around 8pm on Wednesday. They started a dumper that had been locked up on a building site within the school grounds.
