As the good weather continues, more of us are heading outdoors.

However this had led to an increase in rubbish and alcohol in public areas.

One such example is the amount of alcohol gardai seized at Portmarnock Beach in Dublin yesterday.

They took the opportunity to remind people that it is illegal to drink alcohol on the beach.

Meanwhile up to 300 bags of rubbish have been collected from 12 beaches in the Fingal area of Dublin.

Thousands of people descended on the shoreline to take advantage of heatwave.

But local authority staff have been on site since 6am clearing up their mess.

Fingal County Council Senior Executive Officer in Operations is Paul Smith. He says people should take their rubbish home if bins are full.
