There is “no excuse” for the mass teen brawls that have been breaking out across Cork and Dublin since lockdown, a TD has said.

Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire, Sinn Féin spokesperson on education and skills, was contacted by concerned constituents after a fight involving up to 70 youths broke out at Mount Oval in Rochestown, Cork on Saturday. He has since been contacted by constituents concerned by large gatherings of adolescents in other Cork suburbs.
