Gardaí were called to the property following reports a woman had been taken ill after taking ketamine

Gardaí discovered an illegal rave in Dublin 4 which included a makeshift DJ booth, bar and quantities of drugs after a woman was taken ill at the rave.

Revellers at the illegal rave in Donnybrook contacted emergency services when a woman became unwell after taking ketamine in the early hours of Monday morning, March 4.

Gardaí from Donnybrook arrived to the scene to find "dozens of people raving away - makeshift DJ booth, bar and all - having paid €15 each to attend", according to a post on the official An Garda Síochána Instagram page.

"The place was quite obviously in breach of all health and fire safety regulations, and we cleared it right away."

Gardaí also discovered quantities of ketamine, MDMA, acid and Alprazolam tablets (Xanax) at the property.

"Our enquiries are ongoing in co-ordination with Dublin Fire Brigade," Gardaí said.

The woman that had become unwell is said to have made a full recovery.
