Kinsale Rugby Sevens organisers must erect anti-drugs signs in town

Noel BakerA rugby tournament in Kinsale has been given permission to go ahead, but only on condition that it erects public warnings about the dangers of being caught with cocaine, following a slew of prosecutions in recent years.

The organisers of the annual Kinsale Rugby Sevens tournament, which brings thousands of people to the popular tourist town, must place signs at the rugby grounds and in the town, Judge James McNulty ordered at Bandon District Court. “While we are not dealing with children, we are dealing with young adults and just like older adults they need to be aware of the boundaries and the consequences,” the judge declared. “Given the history of offending in and around this event, primarily the misuse of drugs, the court wishes to heighten awareness.”

The popular tournament, sometimes known as Kinsale Sevens By The Sea, is one of the most popular sevens’ competitions in Europe, attracting teams from around the world to compete in men’s, ladies and veteran competitions.
