Soon to be wed, Jamie Moynihan and Damien Barcoe with their daughter Katie Bercoe

A six-year-old Irish girl has gone viral after a video was posted of her begging to go to the pub.

Katie Barcoe from Wexford was recorded pestering her mother to allow her to join her Dad and aunties in the Thatch Bar in Wexford for their local football team's Christmas party.

The six year old said: "I'm six! Why can I not go to the pub? Older kids get to go.

"Please. I went a couple of times Mam. Why can you not just let me go for one night? Mammy I'm six. Six. I'm absolutely six.

"Millie is six. She got to go to the pub.

"It's my weekend off. Please! Just for one night and I won't go to the bingo tomorrow."

When Katie wasn't getting her way, she went on to hang her father, Damien Barcoe, out to dry.

"Daddy's ignoring me," she said.

"All the me when you're gone he thinks he gets his own way and everything.

"He pretends he's cleaning when you're gone and he doesn't even clean I go into the kitchen and he's on his phone and he says 'I'm cleaning', and I say ' no you're not, you're on your phone.

"Seriously, I'm six and my own mother won't let me go to the pub. How is that fair?"

Katie's mother Jamie Moynihan said that her daughter is a great character and is always entertaining everyone around her. According to Jamie, despite Katie's love of the pub, Santa is on the way with a new bike.

"She had been on to me all day about going and she just happened to corner me in the bathroom," she said.

"She's cracked. She's nuts. Anyone that meets her says she's made for the stage. She's nuts. She's really outgoing and clever and funny.

"That's as mad as she gets, other than that she's very light-hearted and clever and fun.

"She was down with Santy today and he told her that her Our Generation Bike is on the sleigh coming to her."
