WATCH: Up to 300 students gather on Cork's College Road as Fresher's week returns

Crowds of up to 300 people gathered on College Road on Sunday night.

Residents in the College Road area of Cork fear Fresher's Week will be twice as long this year as second-year students who had no in-person college last year are welcomed back with 'Sophomore Week' next week. 

Residents are reporting glass bottles being thrown at them, public urination and littering around homes on College Road, and are calling on gardaí and UCC to take harsher measures against students caught engaging in such anti-social behaviour.
