The owner of Dublin's Berlin restaurant, Jay Bourke, has responded to criticism of the behaviour of some customers on the premises at the weekend.
A short video posted on social media showed people failing to physically distance. Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, Mr Bourke said he was not excusing what had happened, describing it as an aberration.
The restauranteur said he is satisfied that having looked at CCTV from the Berlin venue that the footage shared on social media does not fully reflect what happened in the bar on Saturday.
Mr Bourke told RTÉ News that footage from inside the Dublin city centre premises shows that for the majority of the time people were complying with public health guidelines.
