Residents living near the University of Limerick (UL) say their neighbourhood has become a drug-fuelled non-stop party zone that is attracting youths from all over the city.

They voiced their concern as gardaí made five arrests following a large party in College Court, near the university, on Tuesday night. Three men in the Carysfort Avenue were arrested, two in their 20s under Public Order Legislation, and one man under the Misuse of Drugs Legislation.  Fifty fixed charge penalty notices were issued for breaches of the Health Act.
