Day known as one of the busiest for authorities
The last Friday before Christmas is here, also known as Black Eye Friday.
Traditionally deriving from the night workers clocked off for the festive season, it has since become one the busiest and booziest times of the year.
With an influx of people in the party spirit for the holidays, the night has a less than gleaming reputation and it is one of the busiest of the year for ambulances and police.
Robert McAleer, Senior, has been a pub landlord since 1976, he believes Black Eye Friday has been built up and exacerbated by police and the media:
