Irish Examiner: Best behaviour wanted at rugby event

Judge's warning over public order at Kinsale Sevens

Kinsale Sevens Rugby takes place in Co Cork.

Is it not something of a shame that one of the country’s premier local sporting events has been the subject of dire warnings from a district court judge?

Judge James McNulty felt obliged to issue an order at Bandon District Court last February compelling the volunteer organising committee of the forthcoming Kinsale Rugby Sevens tournament to erect posters warning of prosecutions for public order and drug offences. It is a saddening matter.
