This is despite the Taoiseach
One pub owner told reporter
Barry Whyte for Newstalk Breakfast that St Patrick s Day will see a surge in street drinking.
Aidan Brown, who owns Peadar Browns pub on Clanbrassil Street, said: I see a good few pubs now back doing the takeaway drink and I myself would be against it really. A lot of places are just there to make the few bob out of it. I think when one or two pubs are doing it just after Christmas, there wasn t much of a deal about it. It just seems to be more pubs added to the list every week.
Urban coyotes are literally full of garbage â and that s risky for humans, study suggests
In the stomachs of urban coyotes, researcher Scott Sugden has found a pineapple, a doughnut, a fully wrapped burrito and even a leather glove. That s bad news for their human neighbours, since coyotes that eat food for humans tend to be unhealthy, carry more parasites and have gut bacteria linked to aggression.

There’s been a broad welcome to the news that the Riverside Park Hotel in Enniscorthy is to be a community vaccination centre.
It means that thousands of people from the Town and district will not have to travel far to get the vaccination.

Be mindful how far out you go and how far you let your pet off leash, read Brown s neatly designed notice.
Brown made audio recordings of the coyotes as they howled under the power lines behind his family s home. Then, when two battery-powered trail cameras turned up under the Christmas tree, he took his surveillance efforts to the next level.
Videos capture coyotes on the prowl
Within three days, the motion-triggered cameras memory cards were filled with ghostly nighttime images of coyotes on the prowl. We thought we were going to get a lot of turkey and very little coyotes, but half of it is coyotes. We ve had very good luck, the young naturalist said.
