Live webcam footage from EarthCam shows a jammed Temple Bar with hundreds of people crowded onto the street.

Although it has gotten a lot busier during the afternoon, there were queues outside pubs in the city at 10:30am this morning with people keen to kick off the celebrations early.

Many took to social media to react to the "sea of green" in Temple Bar.

One said: "Looks like St Patty's day in Ireland may be more of a destination than Germany for Oktoberfest."

Another wrote: "Temple bar is rocking."

A third said: "I've been to Temple Bar on a normal day. It's 100% never like this."
