ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOUR/STUDENT FINES DRINKING ON THE STREET

ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR / STUDENT FINES

Antisocial behaviour can be a major issue affecting the quality of life for residents and other students. While people have a right to lead different lifestyles, it is not acceptable if their lifestyles interfere with the rights and freedoms of other people. Many families and older members of the community live in close proximity to student accommodation. Please ensure that your behaviour does not impact negatively on other students and members of the local community. Noise levels should be kept to a minimum, especially at night.

Drinking on the streets

A night out on the town can be great fun, but we urge students to understand that you must always remain respectful towards residents living in your community.

Drinking alcohol on the street can result in a fine of €75.00. If you do not pay a fine, this could result in a court appearance. If you are worried about your own, or someone else’s drinking, please use the following resources:
