A group of neighbours have failed to call time on three popular Malahide pubs after claiming outdoor serving caused noise and public drinking problems in the area.

Three locals challenged the licences of Gilbert & Wright, Gibney's and Fowler's pubs on New Street in the heart of the north Co Dublin village. The case went before the Dublin District Court's licensing judge.
