The condition of an 18-year-old girl injured in a crush outside a Dublin nightclub last night has improved.

The girl, who was in a critical condition earlier today, is now stable and will be moved from intensive care in St James' Hospital this evening.

Six other people were also injured in the incident on Camden Place lane off Harcourt Street beside Copper Face Jacks.

Three were treated at the scene, while the three others were taken to hospital for treatment.

The nightclub was running a promotional night for over 18s called 'Messy Mondays'.

An estimated 1,500 people were in the area at the time, with many queuing to gain access to the venue.

Gardai have launched an investigation.

In a statement, Copper Face Jacks says its working closely with all the relevant authorities to establish the cause of the incident.
