Multiple arrests in Cork City as hundreds of teens gather

Gardaí disperse large crowds on Grand Parade in Cork back in April. Seamus Kearney, a UCC student who lives in the city centre, said that the mood in the city darkened and became very volatile at about 10pm around Grand Parade, Daunt Square and Cornmarket streets.

Multiple arrests were made on Saturday night as hundreds of teenagers gathered in Cork city centre.

The crowds were described as “menacing” by one witness and they prompted numerous local businesses to close early.
