Video footage showing crowds of revellers on Dublin's South William Street on Saturday night has caused anger among publicans who have been closed for months. They are standing together in large groups with no regard to the two-metre social distancing regulations. Responding to the scenes, Grogan's Castle Lounge, which is on South William Street, posted a tweet saying: "Eight months closed yesterday. Our premises is in a disgraceful state this morning with tonnes of rubbish and people using it as a toilet." A statement from gardaí said they had responded to reports of a large gathering of people on South William Street on Saturday evening.
