It's the first since the controversial GolfGate scandal.

The Oireachtas Golf Society is making a return this summer - almost two years after the infamous GolfGate dinner.

Its first post-pandemic outing is taking place in Tulfarris Golf Club in  Blessington on July 21st.

It's been out of action since the controversial event in Clifden, Co Galway in August 2020, which led to several high-profile resignations.

Four men were accused of breaking Covid restrictions, but a judge dismissed the case in February.

GolfGate led to a series of high-profile resignations - but a judge found no evidence it broke Covid restrictions.

Hugh O'Connell, from the Irish Independent, says the society has been out of action for nearly two years.
