Organisers of an all-night rave are now planning another event in a few weeks - despite several people being arrested, it is understood.

A flood of complaints by local residents over Friday and Saturday led to gardai investigating the parties at a privately-owned field at Kilkenny Cross near Castlebar, Co Mayo.

Seven people believed to be in possession of drugs, including cannabis and ecstasy, were detained on their way to the venue.

A suspected dealer was also arrested.

And now organisers are intending to go ahead with another event in a couple week's time, the Mayo News reports.

The event, dubbed Into The West Fest, was promoted through Facebook and attracted more than 200 youngsters each night from all over Ireland.

The open-air discos took place from 2am to 7.45am at a privately-owned field at Kilkenny Cross near Castlebar, Co Mayo last Friday and Saturday night.

Invitations were sent out via social media channels in the lead-up to the weekend raves.
