Union of Students say make more space, rather than closing it off
The president of the Union of Students in Ireland says that young people are being driven into gathering in small outdoor locations because other areas have been closed off to them.
Lorna Fitzpatrick says young people for the most part are trying to follow the guidelines but that they've nowhere else to go.
It comes after some streets in Dublin were closed off last night.
And in Galway recently, the 'Middle Arch' area by Spanish Arch was closed off by the council again.
"Let's make sure we have the most amount of space outdoors for people to be able to socialise safely," Lorna said.
"Rather than closing things off, let's open them up and make sure we have the facilities and amenities in place."
