“I would ask the public to remain vigilant to risks and help protect others around them. Please report any suspicious incidents to the police or any security or staff working in any establishment.

“We have, as we always do, police officers out during the evening in the city centre, who work closely with bar staff and security to ensure the safety of all who are out.

“We also have a Safebus situated on Derrys Cross Roundabout staffed by paramedics and security staff to provide support and assistance to anyone who is out in the city centre.”
