A shocking video has emerged in the wake of last night’s shameful street party at an apartment complex in Dublin.
An all-weather soccer field at Oliver Bond’s apartments in the south-center of the city was like the aftermath of a war zone this morning, with hundreds of “hippy crack” or nitrous oxide canisters and empty drink containers. scattered around the children’s play area.
We previously told how a tent was set up in the complex last night to house a DJ booth, with music blasting until the early hours and people partying in the common area until 5 in the morning.
A video taken at the party shows dozens of young people partying, with no apparent respect for social distancing guidelines.
Residents who submitted images and footage to Dublin Live recounted how the Gardai were called out on numerous occasions to end the wild scenes.
A frustrated local who asked not to be identified said residents who managed to sleep through the noise woke up to a mess that they spent the morning cleaning up.
They said: “All residents had to clean that up. Police were called more than ten times too [but it] It didn’t stop until 5 hours later.
“We are at level 3; they tell us to report more than six [people] at his house, but when the police are called more than ten times, probably more, and they pass 3 times before finally finishing it, then [ the revellers] I came back until 5 am “.
The city and county of Dublin entered a level 3 lockdown at midnight on Friday in an attempt to halt the alarming increase in COVID cases in the capital.
Among the restrictions placed on Dubliners is a ban on social gatherings of more than 15 people, but the video of last night’s party clearly shows VERY more than that number gathered within the 2 million individual social distancing councils that are have been in place since the pandemic. .
Dublin Live has contacted An Garda Siochana regarding last night’s scenes.
Councilman Mannix Flynn criticized the scenes. She told Dublin Live: “This was a crime of the highest order.
“This was an organized indifference, with illegal drugs and drinking. And it is just outrageous.”
He called out the “thugs” behind the party, calling it an “illegal rave orgy of drugs and drinking.”
“This was not balcony bingo, it was not some kind of revenge or reunion, or proper socializing,” he continued.
“This was a crime of the highest level. This was an organized indifference, with illegal drugs and drinking. And it’s just outrageous. “
He added that those behind the shocking scenes were not innocent teenagers, but adult adults.
“Their behavior amounts to treason,” he said. “This was reckless behavior that put people’s lives at risk. It is absolutely despicable.”
Cllr Flynn also criticized the Dublin City Council, which owns the complex, saying they had abandoned their tenants when they needed them most.
He was enraged: “The Dublin City Council reneged and betrayed and failed in its duty to the residents here last night.
“They refused to come forward last night to deal with this problem. It is their heritage, they are responsible for managing that heritage 24 hours a day, not An Garda Siochana.”
A Garda spokesman said tonight: “Gardaí responded to reports of a meeting at a residential complex on Oliver Bond Street last night, Saturday, September 20, 2020.
“Gardaí went to the scene and asked all the people to disperse. Gardaí maintained a presence in the area. No infractions of the regulations were detected.
“Several patrols were carried out in the area during the course of the night.
“By supporting COVID-19 public health guidelines and regulations, An Garda Síochána has adopted and will continue to adopt a graduated police response based on its tradition of consent policing.
“This has seen Gardaí engage, educate, encourage and, as a last resort, enforce.”
