Gardaí have confirmed they're seeking to prosecute four people in relation to the organisation of last year's Golfgate dinner in County Galway.

Two politicians are among the group that will be summonsed before the District Court facing allegations of organising the event.

The other two are understood to not be public figures.

The prosecutions relate to the organisation of the event which saw a dinner attended by more than 80 people.

The maximum penalties for breaches of the laws around public gatherings during COVID are a €2,500 fine or up to six months in prison.
