Students of a prestigious fee-paying school in Cork City have been advised to avoid quiet side streets following reports that some city-based students are being intimidated by gangs of youths.

The warning was issued to the parents and guardians of students of Presentation Brothers College on the Mardyke in what was described as an important student safety notice. The school was not available for comment.
