The Minister for Agriculture Charlie McConalogue has urged Bishops’ and priests to “show leadership” and not to defy public health advice by allowing Holy Communions and Confirmations.
The Bishop of Raphoe is the latest church leader to defy the ban, joining the bishops of Elphin, Clogher, Meath and Waterford and Lismore. He said: "While it is frustrating to see these delays, no one's going to get hurt by waiting a little bit longer to avail of it and to have that special day. "But the public health advice is still very clear in relation to being cautious and in relation to the advice around communions, and confirmations."
