Gardaí have opened an investigation into the outdoor gathering organised in the south inner city of Dublin last Saturday on September 19 at the Oliver Bond flat complex near Christchurch. 

Investigating Gardaí are not pursuing public health regulation breaches such as a failure to socially distance or wear a facemask in a public area as they are not a penal offence.
