An ambulance had to be called to the scene of a huge rave in a remote Irish woodland over the weekend.
The incident happened in the Derryounce Lakes area in Co Offaly just outside the town of Portalarington last Saturday.
Up to 70 canisters of nitrous oxide, popularly known as "laughing gas", were spotted on the site, as well as bottles of alcohol.
Laois councillor Aidan Mullins told local news site Kildare Now that people were at a "real risk of people dying".
He said: "It has all the hallmarks. Our volunteers found Luas tickets. It seems to have been an influx from Dublin, it wasn't just a bunch of local lads.
"We reckon there were about 70 canisters and each weighs a kilo. We have reported it to the Gardaí.
"There were two ambulances called, we understand from reports to our volunteers that three people were taken away in them. There is a real risk of people dying, this is beside the lake, they were vulnerable."
Cllr Mullins also shared a message in a local Facebook group along with pictures of the rubbish left at the site.
The Sinn Fein councillor slammed the "bunch of morons" who travelled to the event and said a group of volunteers were left to clean up the mess.
He wrote: "Another bunch of morons left this disgusting mess behind them in Derryounce over the weekend.
"As can be seen from the photos, they were taking more than drink. An ambulance had to be called out there during the night.
"Our volunteers were left to clean up after these sh**heads."
