Radio Kerry News understands that the event, which is the subject of a garda investigation, was held at the Lanterns Hotel outside Tarbert.

The hotel has declined to comment.

However, indoor weddings of up to 50 people are still allowed for the time being.

In a statement to Radio Kerry, gardaí said social distancing and other COVID-19 public health guidelines are not penal provisions and in supporting these guidelines, they have adopted a graduated policing response which has seen garda members engage, educate, encourage, and, as a last resort, enforce.
