Gardaí entered a house in Cork where a group of students had gathered without producing any warrant and body searched all of the occupants, according to a number of witnesses.

The Irish Council for Civil Liberties has called into question the legality of the searches and an arrangement that exists between An Garda Síochána and UCC about the retrieval of confiscated ID cards.
