The government's considering banning the sale of alcohol after a certain time of day.

It's among the measures being looked at to curb on-street drinking.

Tanaiste Leo Varadkar says work is underway on new public health regulations to strengthen the law in this area.

He says the issue is not straight forward when it comes to laws on take-away pints.

Any new restrictions would have to apply to the sale of all take-away alcohol, meaning the pints wouldn't be the only thing facing the chop
