There are all for shots of alcohol to be banned from bars late at night.

It's after the city of Adelaide in Australia announced a ban on the serving of shots after 2 am, to crack down on drunken brawls.

Independent Dublin Councillor Mannix Flynn says a similar ban here would end 'panic drinking at closing time'.

"We've already got late-night bars on the likes of Harcourt Street, and Camden Street can be a terrible mess.

"If you drive up those areas at two or three in the morning, and it's absolutely sad to see the number of people inebriated, drunk, out of their mind, twisted, locked and falling from one end of the place to the next".

The comments come ahead of changes to laws around the sale of alcohol, which will see extended opening hours in Ireland.
