Spanish Arch, Galway tonight. Numbers will inevitability continue to rise. I'd expect Level 3 restriction before the end of the week.... pic.twitter.com/cBLUoJOfj9 — Cllr. Eddie Hoare September 28, 2020 Gardaí were also called to other parts of the city, including a site close to the Corrib at the Engineering Building in NUI Galway, as well as locations in Ballybane and Renmore.

In addition, officers were called out to 12 separate house parties in accommodation rented by students around the city. Several city councillors have expressed alarm at the scenes, saying they could contribute to increased restrictions being imposed in Galway. Every person who broke Covid restrictions in the Galway crowds tonight should be ashamed. Not only are you putting the whole city at risk but you are sacrificing the experience of the next entire college year for your class mates and yourselves. Bitta common sense and cop on. pic.twitter.

There's not a virus deadly enough, or a wall high enough that would keep youngster apart...

They are students, young and most not high risk so they are right to party.

We need to nip the problem at the root - the authorities turning a blind eye to the unlicensed Poteen stills all over the place. In my neighborhood alone the stench of fermenting mash is overpowering me as I walk down the street.

Not a single cop there, not the 1st time either it's happened

Take names at the party and kick them out of college simple.

Previously, RTE praised the CCP for doing a good job in controlling the epidemic, why not introduce their inhumane methods? If you want a humane method, you can learn from Taiwan.

Consequences. There needs to be consequences otherwise what’s the point 🤦🏼‍♀️

Bunch of simpletons.Alot of students don't care.They would only be happy theres another lockdown.They were getting paid more in the covid payment than their actual wage they got every should be used on these little pricks

Time to lockdown galway

Tear gas😭

Ill leave this here...

D'oh who'd a thunked it? People are idiots do they need their Mammys to explain! Wait...

They always spoil your fun 🤪

So who do we blame for this if not the youth real lockdown.

Reckon galway will be in lockdown shortly. So when businesses start the blame game, this is where you start.

Start doing on the spot fines. Wankers

Good on these people - great to see them enjoy themselves. The dumb sheeple have to wait for the corrupt government and MSM ScumMedia RTÉ and VirginMediaNews instructions on how to live. Scamdemic

Time we got serious here.

PoliceState

More restrictions = More house parties

Close the off licences, it will soon put an end to house parties and gatherings like this,

Get the water cannon.

Good people,keep the tossers busy
