Cork City Council wants on-campus bars to open later during Rag and Freshers weeks.
Cork City Council is calling on college bars in University College Cork (UCC) to reduce their opening hours during Freshers Week and Rag Week.
The call comes after residents living near the university have complained of noise and anti-social behaviour in recent years.
Local residents are set to hand in a letter to management at the college asking them to open at 5pm rather than the usual 12pm on those weeks.
Independent Councillor Mick Finn says that residents are “exasperated” by students during the two weeks in particular and proposed a motion backing the restrictions.
The councillor acknowledged that reducing opening hours in college bars might just mean that students drink in nearby pubs but argued that the request would ’fire a warning shot’
