Locals vent anger after 200 teens ‘invade’ Cork village

Gardaí had to be called after a horde of almost 200 teenagers “invaded” a tranquil seaside village and wreaked havoc during a weekend of drunken chaos.

Locals in Crookhaven in West Cork, believe the event was organised on social media. They said most were boys, aged between 15 and 17, and are students of well-known “middle-class Cork City secondary schools”.

Cork County Council was still cleaning up yesterday after several locals collected almost 30 bags of rubbish from a beach where the teens set up an illegal campsite.
