A Dublin pub has said it is “furious” after footage emerged on social media, reportedly showing a large crowd drinking outside its premises Saturday evening.
Grogans Castle Lounge on South William Street said yesterday marked eight months of the pub being closed due to Covid-19 restrictions, with the revellers leaving its premises in a “disgraceful state”.
Gardaí said they responded to reports of a large gathering of people on the street and maintained a presence in the area.
They said no breaches of regulations were detected and a number of patrols were conducted over the course of the evening.
8 months closed yesterday. Deemed unsafe to operate by NPHET and Gov.
Is this safer?
Clearly nearby properties don't have to follow the rules. Our premises is in a disgraceful state this morning with tons of rubbish and people using it as a toilet.
We are furious this morning. https://t.co/qLti0gPTKQ
