In the North investigations are continuing into what caused up to 60 young people to fall ill at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast last night.
Fleets of ambulances were called to the DJ Hardwell gig and 15 teenagers were taken to hospital. Their conditions are now described as stable.
Police are now trying to establish whether alcohol or substances were consumed by those attending.
Belfast-based Security Correspondent Alan Murray says many of those who fell ill were underage.
“WE don’t know exactly what these young people took – many of them are 16, 17, 18 – obviously they shouldn’t have been drinking in terms of the licensing laws, they’re not 18” he said.
“But somehow they were drinking, they may have taken some substances…as well as that – we don’t know yet” he added.
