Those involved with emergency services across Carlow and Kilkenny are urging you to celebrate safely this Christmas.
The festive period tends to be a time of year when a lot of alcohol is consumed and people let their hair down more than they normally would.
However, paramedics say it can be their busiest time of year – especially with the ’12 Pubs of Christmas’ trend.
Speaking to KCLR, local paramedic Mick Kavanagh says people need to take more personal responsibility.
