The owner of Berlin D2 has spoken out about the video which showed people flouting physical distancing guidelines at the venue on Saturday.
Speaking on Morning Ireland on RTÉ Radio One, Jay Bourke said the video taken at Berlin D2 showed "20 seconds of madness" at an otherwise "well-controlled" event.

Mr. Bourke also defended a barman who was seen standing on a bar while pouring alcohol into people's mouths, saying that he shouldn't have done it but "he's young and got excited".
