Dublin rave
Up to 100 people were filmed at an outdoor rave at a flat complex in Dublin city over the weekend.
Footage shared online shows a DJ playing to a crowd on Saturday night, the day after further restrictions were introduced in the capital.
Gardaí say they requested people at the gathering on Oliver Bond Street to disperse, and found no breaches of regulations.
