St Patrick's Day celebrations in full force

A Dunedin principal has blasted the out-of-control antics of Dunedin students, after a highly intoxicated St Patrick’s Day reveller caused chaos and disruption for pupils.

Dunedin North Intermediate principal Heidi Hayward said the behaviour of students was generally reasonable — but each year St Patrick’s Day brought trouble.

Amidst widespread partying across North Dunedin yesterday, a severely intoxicated man arrived at the school and got very aggressive when asked to leave about 1pm, Ms Hayward said.
