Deputy Danny Healy-Rae has said he's not aware of a gathering in his pub that appears to have breached COVID-19 regulations.

Radio Kerry received a video that seems to show the group socialising in the Kerry TD's bar in Kilgarvan.

It appears that this video was recorded from a series of Snapchat videos and images that were apparently sent by Cllr Maura Healy-Rae, the TD's daughter.

It's not known when the gathering shown in the video was held.

The video features a group of about 20, mostly young, people who appear to be socialising in the interior of Deputy Danny Healy-Rae's bar in Kilgarvan.

It shows bar counter service going on which is prohibited under COVID-19 regulations.

Members of the group are seen dancing and moving around the premises without masks.

Under regulations, customers in a bar should wear a mask at all times other than when sitting at their table.

The video contains a series of videos, photos and stills that appear to be from the Snapchat account of Cllr Maura Healy-Rae.
