A file in relation to the investigation in the Oireachtas Golf Society dinner has been forwarded to the Director of Public Prosecutions.

The investigation was launched by gardaí in Galway after the Irish Examiner revealed that more than 80 people met for a prize-giving dinner after a golf society day out, just one day after the Government changed Covid-19 restrictions.
