University Issue St Patrick's Day Warning
Students who are identified as having been involved in trouble on St Patrick’s Day will be expelled, so say the University of Ulster.
The University has recorded a video message and sent it all its students outlining that they will not tolerate anymore anti-social behaviour from students.
Speaking during the recorded message University of Ulster’s Vice Chancellor Professor Richard Barnett said: "In recent years we have to accept that a small minority of our students have let down the university, have let down themselves and let down their families through their anti-social behaviour on St Patrick's Day.
"I have to say enough is enough. We will not tolerate any more of this anti-social behaviour.
"If any of you are involved in anti-social behaviour this year I will ensure that the university's disciplinary procedures are brought in swiftly and severely.”
This warning has been issued as in the past rioting and drunken parties have, for many people, spoiled the occasion.
