The Government Is Considering Banning Take-Away Pints
Taoiseach Micheál Martin made the comments on Cork's RedFM this morning
It's after large crowds gathered in Cork and Dublin 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.
Speaking on the Neil Prendeville Show on Cork's RedFM, Taoiseach Micheál Martin says he'll meet the Justice Minister today to discuss it:
'Obviously it could potentially mean a change of regulations, so I'm going to consult with other Government colleagues first before I make any announcement. We're certainly going to review it because this was never meant to be. This was never the intention to have large crowds gathering outside of pubs, or outside particular locations where takeaways are available.'
