The Taoiseach says a review will be carried out on the sale of takeaway pints from pubs.

It follows scenes of crowds gathering in both Dublin and Cork over the weekend.

Michael Martin says he's concerned and annoyed by what happened.

He spoke to Red FM in Cork today and said the government will now examine what can be done to tackle the issue, saying a review will happen "over the next two days".

"I'll be talking to the Minister for Justice today ... who'll have probably a broader assessment from the Gardaí in terms of what's been happening across cities and towns across the country on this", he explained.

"Because the country had been doing well ... The vast majority of people were adhering, and are adhering, to the guidelines which are difficult and which are tough on people".
