A Co Derry pub complex fined £25,000 for overcrowding earlier this year has been granted a new entertainment licence.
The Elk, which is located near Toome, was fined in August after overcrowding at a teenage disco last year led to fears of a crush.
The venue's entertainment licence was later suspended.
It is understood a decision to renew the licence with conditions imposed was taken by Mid Ulster District Council last month.
A spokeswoman for the council last night said it intends to contact The Elk this week.
"The renewal of The Elk’s entertainments license was considered by the council last month, and it will write to the applicant this week to advise of the outcome."
Creagh Concrete Products Ltd, which owns The Elk Bar and Bistro, and its general manager Aaron McHenry, pleaded guilty to breaches of health and safety legislation relating to the sold-out event on November 5, last year.
It later emerged that over 1,800 children were admitted to the venue despite the permitted number being 1,041.
It was also confirmed that while a minimum of 51 security staff were required on the night just 14 and six 'floating stewards' were on duty.
The safety scare at the landmark venue came more than two years after three teenagers, Morgan Barnard (17), Lauren Bullock (17) and 16-year-old Connor Currie, died during a crush as they queued for a teenage disco at the Greenvale Hotel in Cookstown - which is also in the Mid Ulster District Council area.
