While others were putting on any layers they could find in near freezing conditions on Thursday morning, hardy students gave in to fashion as they queued outside numerous Cork City pubs from early in the day for the annual “college Christmas Day”.
Despite a status orange weather warning bringing snow, slush, and sleet to the streets, the students seemed to embrace the freezing temperatures, with miniskirts, Christmas jumpers, and festive bows aplenty.
