GARDAI have broken up a significant public order incident in Limerick.
Warning: video contains strong language, viewer discretion advised
Gardaí have made three arrests and issued 30 fixed payment notices after dozens of students held a “street party” in Limerick.
Officers have also launched a probe to identify the organisers of the event, which saw fireworks set off, outdoor drinking taking place and bottles smashed on the ground in Castletroy.
A policing operation was immediately put in place following the reports of the incident in Carysfort Avenue, College Court, with a significant number of garda attending the scene.
A spokesperson for the gardai said the force intervened at 7.15pm on Tuesday evening, after “continued and orchestrated non-compliance” with both public health regulations and directions from An Garda Síochána.
A number of videos have been widely shared on social media, especially Snapchat, revealing a gathering of dozens of students in breach of Covid-19 social distancing regulations.
One video shows outdoor drinking taking place, alongside loud music, and a lack of social distancing.
In this piece, the students fall silent as the pyrotechnic explodes near a vehicle.
In a second video, glasses are broken on the roadway, with a firework subsequently spinning out of control in the night sky.
