Drunken youths' party costs Dublin council €20k after child injured

Drunken parties in public parks are causing major financial hangovers for local authorities, a court heard today.

Barrister Eileen McAuley told the Circuit Civil Court that a two-year-old girl who fell on glass in the grass in Brickfield Public Park in Drimnagh, Dublin, was left with a jagged scar just below her left knee.
