The government is considering banning take-away pints.

It's after large crowds gathered in Dublin and Cork over the weekend drinking on the streets.

Some pubs who are closed claimed they had to clean human excrement off the outside of their premises after people gathered outside with take-away drinks from other pubs.

Taoiseach Micheál Martin says he'll meet the Justice Minister today to discuss it: "I'm going to consult with other government colleagues before I make any announcement on it.

"But we're certainly going to review it, this was never meant to be, this was never the intention that you'd have large crowds gathering outside of pubs or locations where takeaways are available."
