Cork judge slams growing levels of drink fuelled and gratuitous late night violence on streets

Going out at night is now "really dangerous" because of the prevalence of strong alcohol shots and young people drinking up to three times more than was customary ten years ago.

Judge Gerard O’Brien at Cork Circuit Criminal Court voiced his concerns about growing levels of gratuitous violence on the street. "People are killed from one blow. One blow can kill someone," he warned.
