Two politicians and two others are to be charged with breaching health regulations by organising last August's Oireachtas Golf Society dinner.
Four people are to be prosecuted for arranging the event, an annual golf outing, and a prize-giving dinner, attended by over 80 people just a day after public health restrictions were tightened to limit indoor gatherings to six people, reduced from 50, with some exceptions.
