All the day’s main news, plus a few bits and pieces you may have missed along the way…
Enda Kenny and Michael D Higgins joined the crowds at Croke Park today for the closing Mass.
“They abused people and undermined the credibility of the Church’s message.”
It’s almost like an ice-skating rink, with white plastic platforms laid over the pitch to cater for attendees.
Over 12,500 pilgrims from around the world gathered at the RDS today for the opening ceremony.
In his opening greeting, Archbishop of Dublin Diarmuid Martin has said the past 50 years have been marked with a dark side.
A Dominican friar has developed the app to enable pilgrims around the world to experience the Congress, which takes place in Dublin in June.
‘Alpha’ – described as a “parish tool for evangelisation” – will offer pilgrims and the public a chance to explore basic questions.
THE NATIONAL PUBLIC Health Emergency Team is meeting today to make its recommendation to Government about easing Level 5 restrictions.
The recommendation will potentially set out what people are able to do in the weeks leading up to Christmas, ahead of the Government’s decision this week on whether or not it will re-open things like pubs and restaurants across the country after 1 December.
It’s been reported this week that some ministers believe restaurants should be allowed to open for indoor dining during December and that pubs should also be allowed to reopen.
However, some public health experts believe that it would not be safe to re-open restaurants next month, given the potential to the virus to spread in congregated indoor settings.
But what do you think? Today we’re asking: Would you be comfortable going to a restaurant for a meal in December?
