More Proportionate Response To Public Gatherings Needed, Says Midlands TD

Corpus Christi Church, Athlone

It's after gardaí interrupted a Mass that was held in Westmeath yesterday.

A midlands TD says there needs to be a more proportionate response to gathering during the pandemic.

It comes after gardaí dispersed a crowd of over 50 who attended a Mass in Athlone yesterday morning.

Independent deputy Carol Nolan believes people are being denied the basic right to worship and the response of gardaí was inappropriate:

 

MASS: Gardaí say they attended the scene, having received a call reporting an alleged covid breach.
