Gardai sent drinkers home from a pub in south Dublin last night after reports that the outside of the premises was "jammed".
There was a large gang of people packed together outside Terenure pub The Pines who were subsequently dispersed by gardai when they arrived on the scene.
A source told Dublin Live: "It's been jammed day after day for weeks with people drinking outside.
They added: "I reckon their lucky candle burnt out last night."
A Garda spokesperson said: "Gardaí in Terenure responded to a call at a licensed premises at around 7p.m. yesterday evening Thursday, 3 June."
"People were engaged with and all persons moved on. No offences disclosed."
Dublin Live has contacted the pub for comment.
