Holylands residents' fears for St Patrick's Day as they call on people to respect the area

Holylands residents are bracing themselves for St Patrick's Day this week as they issue a call for people to respect the area where they live.

The South Belfast area has become a controversial hotspot for partying and disruption on St Patrick's day for over a decade, with those living in the area saying they worry about the safety of their families and homes amidst the "out of control drinking".

Speaking to Belfast Live, residents say they expect to see problems throughout the week and are hoping the police, council and universities will be taking action to ensure that any anti-social behaviour is dealt with.
