Important Notice From Gardai To Parents

Clare Gardai in consultation with School principals wish to advise parents and students that upcoming social events in Ennis will be monitored.

Recent events in the community have led to incidents involving young people participating in abuse of alcohol, substance abuse, anti social behaviour, physical assaults and other inappropriate activity.

We appeal to parents to discuss these matters with your young people and take responsibility for their actions.

You are advised that Gardai will have a heightened presence at the events and parents will be contacted should any issues arise.
