Last night downtown Dublin played host to an alcohol-fueled rampage. Teenagers celebrating their Junior Cert results pushed each other out into the streets, passed out, cried, laughed, got arrested and generally did all the things that go along with getting very drunk. Eyewitnesses called the spectacle “a disgrace”. 20 pubescent boys and girls were taken to the Garda station at Store Street and later released into the custody of the bewildered parents.
Indeed, most students around the country were well-behaved. Many attended alcohol-free events, but sadly not all. Teens were seen drinking liquor openly in alleys off O'Connell St. as early as 18.00. There was a party at the Point Depot, which thousands of students attended. It was intended as an alcohol-free event, but there were beer cans and bottles of hard liquor everywhere. Ambulances waited inside the gates to the Depot. An unconscious girl was wheeled out into an ambulance, and another was taken out on a stretcher. Earlier hundreds of teens poured out into Middle Abbey St. and screamed and hit passers-by outside the Traffic nightclub, another venue prohibiting the use of alcohol that night.
