An incident, that has been described as "pandemonium", forced staff at Copper Face Jacks to take action last night, after a mass crowd queuing for the Dublin club resulted in several people injured.
It is estimated that approximately 1,500 people were in the vicinity when the crushing incident occurred.
It has since been confirmed that four people were hospitalised, leaving one female seriously hurt.
Earlier today Cathal Jackson, owner of the nightclub, told
The Irish Independent that the young woman's condition has improved.
He explained that the girl was, "okay" and "talking", and also recalled the night's events.
“It was just a huge crowd coming down Harcourt Street and up Harcourt Street and up Camden Place, and they converged on Camden Place on the alleyway.
“It got blocked and a few people were knocked to the ground.”
Jackson also explained that those injured received immediate medical attention from an on-site paramedic.
“The security staff went in and took the three or four people who had fallen to the ground, and they got medical aid for them straight away.”
“A paramedic was attending to her and security staff. We have an on-site paramedic. I arrived when it was happening... I had to force my way through the crowds.”
“We opened the side doors to let people downstairs, and we got the crowd under control. It happened in two or three minutes – the crowd came up the alleyway.”
For the first night ever the club was running a "Messy Mondays" event, lowering the admission age to over-18s, and offering a Jagerbomb promotion.

"We never had a specifically over-18s night before; we always had older crowds," Jackson told the paper.
Adding: "18s wouldn’t have been in the premises before and they got excited."
The owner said he would "seriously" reconsider ever hosting an over-18s event again.
"An investigation is in process at the moment," he added.
"The fire brigade and Gardaí were on the scene very promptly. And it was under control very quickly."
