Kids hospitalised for drinking poison

FOUR youths hospitalised after a Halloween drinking binge are thought to have mistakenly consumed a corrosive cleaning fluid used in pubs.

Two of them, a 14-year-old boy and a 16-year-old girl, were still in intensive care last night.

The four are 16-year-old Chantelle Byrne, from Railway Street; Anthony Conway, from Hardwicke Street Flats; John Collins, from Dorset Street Flats; and another boy known locally Mitchie.
