Three men have been arrested following a street party near the University of Limerick
A large gathering was reported at College Court in Castletroy at around 7:15 yesterday evening, with Gardaí issuing thirty fines.
Two men in their 20s were arrested on public order offences, while another man was arrested under drugs legislation.
The University Of Limerick says it will take 'strong disciplinary measures' against any student found to have breached public health guidelines.
Fine Gael Councillor for Limerick City East Michael Murphy thinks those at the gathering will be disappointed in their actions:
"It was just sort of a spontaneous event, from what I could gather. Now obviously, there must have been some bit of organisation and intention with people there with fireworks... If people aren't seeing the bigger picture- the students- if they really thought about what happened, or if they reflected, I'm sure they'd be disappointed in their own behaviour."
