HSE chief Paul Reid has spoken of the hurt caused as up to 300 mourners attended a Traveller funeral in his hometown.
“None of the mourners were seen to wear face masks,” it noted.
It has also been claimed that a number of vehicles and pedestrians were turned away at checkpoints by Gardai but that a large number of mourners gathered in a local car park near the estate before “breaking though” the checkpoint.
Under Level 5 guidelines, attendance at funerals is limited to just ten and only close family should attend the church and graveyard.
Gardaí confirmed that officers in Leitrim carried out a policing plan “around a funeral that took place in Carrick-on-Shannon Co Leitrim on March 10 and 11”.
“An Garda Síochana liaised with the relevant parties in advance and is not investigating any breaches in respect of the church element of this funeral, Gardai said, adding, “funerals are not a penal regulation.”
