Houses sold over Cork students’ behaviour

Families have been forced to sell their homes in Cork’s university quarter because of a surge in anti-social student behaviour, the leader of the Seanad has claimed.

However, it has emerged that UCC student leaders have decided to cancel future ‘Christmas Day’ events after a flood of complaints from residents about student drunkeness after this year’s event last month.

Fine Gael senator Jerry Buttimer told a meeting of the Cork City JPC this week that he has never fielded so many complaints from residents living around UCC about the behaviour of a cohort of students.
