On Friday, gardaí confirmed they're investigating alleged breaches of COVID guidelines at Deputy Danny Healy-Rae's pub in Kilgarvan.

A photo, understood to be taken during a family wedding last month, shows a large gathering in the pub.

This was prior to the lifting of restrictions and the resumption of indoor gatherings on July 26th.

Independent deputy Michael Healy-Rae, who attended the wedding, was asked if he expects to be spoken to by gardaí.
