Marie Louise O'Donnell: I find that difficult to accept because it would not happen on an American campus, but even though this incident did not happen on the campus, they are still students and staff of the university. Unless third level institutions stand up in some way to control this and say if one is a representative of a university and is out of one's mind drunk and bouncing off a wall at 11.20 a.m., it will...

We had a drink Monday and a Donegal Tuesday, which had nothing to do with the county but where students were queuing up from 10 a.m. We had people rioting in the middle of a town and hundreds of students trying to get into a place to get shots before noon, when they...
