Gardai broke up a massive party of 200 teenagers "drinking and not adhering to any social distancing" this evening in north Dublin.
Locals in Santry had made multiple calls to the Garda station as the youths partied recklessly with no consideration for the Covid-19 health guidelines.

Gardai confiscated mountains of cans and bottles from the kids before dispersing them with a stern warning about the obvious risks of such a large gathering, Dublin Live reports.
