Gardaí have confirmed to RedFM News that they have been liasing with pubs, security personal, the festival organising committee and bus companies involved in the festival for a number of weeks now.

Speaking to RedFM News Inspector Brian Murphy says parents need to be rsponsible for their children and remind them that underage drinking is illegal and that drinking alcohol in a public place could result in them being arrested.
