A peeved trader plans to give drunken revellers the shock of their lives if they continue urinating against his shop front.

Businessman John O'Connor said he could no longer put up with his premises being used as an outdoor toilet by a steady stream of late-night partygoers.

He has spent around ?3,000 (£2,800) putting in CCTV cameras and other security devices to deter them, but to no avail.

Now, the 46-year-old is wiring up an electric current on the pavement outside his music shop in County Clare, in the Irish Republic.

Live wires spread across the pavement immediately in front of his shop will give anyone who comes into contact with them a jolt.

An angry Mr O'Connor said his shop was not a dumping ground and warned revellers should zip up or face the shocking consequences.

"If anybody persists and continues with the anti-social behaviour they'll get a shock, they'll know all about it," he said.

"The wires are on the ground where I'm greeted every Monday morning with pools of their urine, mounds of their faeces," he said.

"You can see (the device), it's pretty obvious what's there. There are signs everywhere.

"Last Monday morning the place was destroyed. Urine had seeped into the door jamb. I was greeted by a flood of urine inside on the carpet and lino, I had to clean it up for about an hour.

"I've been doing this for years. I've tolerated it but you come to a certain stage that when you're greeted with this you just say 'Enough is enough'."

However, Mr O'Connor could be leaving himself open to prosecution for assault under Ireland's Non-Fatal Offences Against The Person Act 1997.

The law carries a maximum fine of 1,500 euros (£1,400) and a prison sentence of up to five years for people who break it.

A Gardai spokesman said: "If somebody was to injure themselves he might have a few questions to answer. If it was reported we would investigate."
