If last Saturday gardaí felt there was a “carnival atmosphere” in Cork city centre last Saturday, they could be forgiven for thinking the party was over, for now at least.

Unlike last week, most of the main streets of the city were quiet, with only a small number of groups and most of them seemed to be Christmas shoppers on their way home who had stopped for a few coffees or pints with friends.
