Gardaí made three arrests after dozens of people gathered in College Court in the Castletroy area of Limerick City to party and set off fireworks this evening. Videos online show flares and fireworks being set off amongst large groups of people who gathered to drink this evening in the estate predominantly occupied by UL students. Fine Gael TD Kieran O’Donnell said the behaviour tonight in College Court was “totally reprehensible”. Local Green Party Councillor Seán Hartigan was at the scene earlier and said there were numerous Garda cars in College Court and said a number of vehicles were being towed. “There is a huge incidence of Covid in there [College Court],” Mr Hartigan said.
