  1. She managed to get over the gate, however, when she landed on the other side she was shocked to discover her right hand was badly cut and was bleeding profusely. When she looked at her left hand, she was horrified to see her forefinger was missing. ‘

    I had surgery on a Thursday morning, on Saturday, they put on the leeches, they keep blood circulating on the finger. They latch on and suck the blood. New leeches went on every three hours for two weeks and at weekends, every six hours. During my remaining days in hospital they went on every 12 hours .

    Dafuq is going on in Galway?

    Crazy Stephen King Fence mutilated 5 Teens now and Leech doctors running around trying to reattach there fingers.

  2. We’re doing safety reviews for stupidity now? If someone gets hurt while climbing over a security fence, that’s on them.

  3. >The Galway Advertiser understands the Co Galway woman is one of five students (both male and female and all First Years ) who have lost or badly damaged their fingers in the past five to six years while trying to get over this particular fence. There are several warning signs, located two to three metres apart on the structure in question, highlighting that it is an “Anti Climb Fence”.

    These are the poster dipshits for Darwinism.

  4. What do people want, a fence that is safer to climb over? In that case why have a fence?

  5. As they said in the article, this has been going on for years- I’ve hopped that fence myself to save the walk around to the other entrance, and have known people who’ve been injured.

    Nobody is saying she or anybody else who climbs the fence didn’t have themselves to blame, but would it really be too much to ask to have the back gate as well as the front accessible for residents, and also to allow pre-authorised overnight guests in accommodation that students are paying a fortune for so they don’t have to sneak in? Because clearly nobody is going to stop hopping the fence anytime soon.

  6. Same thing happened to a class mate back when I went to CIT at the near by student accom. They locked the gate at night so students coming off the bus from town had maybe an extra 8 minutes walk instead of being able to just walk straight into the complex from one side. It made no sense.

  7. One of the lads was very lucky to survive when he sliced his arm open on the same fences back in the day. He was very lucky that he didn’t lose too much blood.

    He ended up needing plastic surgery and everything on the arm.

    I suppose if corrib didn’t have as strict rules then people wouldn’t be climbing the fence.
