Ireland is revoking a ban on being drunk and swearing on Sundays.

A law from 1661 - which bans "drunkenness, cursing, swearing and profaning on the Lord's Day" - is among thousands of laws set to be scrapped.

Ireland is also scrapping its declarations of war against Denmark in 1666, and against France in 1744 - both of which took place under British rule.

A declaration announcing the death of King George the Third, who died in 1820 after nearly a decade of mental illness. is also being scrapped.
