The Limerick Leader is reporting how four students ran naked down the aisle of a bus in Limerick, while the bus was stopped at a Garda checkpoint.

It reports:

Members of the traffic corps boarded the bus when alerted by the driver and asked the youths to put their clothes back on… Judge [Eugene] O’Kelly said the students had displayed the “height of immaturity” and he asked Mr Grant if had ever considered “streaking around a farmyard?” He also quipped: “What if it was your Granny on the bus?”

“This is the third summer in a row where there were fewer properties available to rent nationwide at any one time,” said economist and author of the report [by Daft.ie], Ronan Lyons.”This is particularly the case in Dublin, which means that some prospective tenants may find that they have to live further out than expected.” However, there is good news for students in some parts of the country.The average rent is 0.5pc lower than it was a year ago. The latest figures show the average advertised rent stood at €809 a month in June compared to €814 at the same time last year.

Just in light of what happened at the weekend, we have recently completed some research which throws some light on drug use/experimentation. While our research is based solely in colleges, we feel it makes for interesting reading, especially for the harder drug use.
