Letters to the editor: Lockdown of Churches and Free Parking at Hospitals
File Photo );
Dear editor,
Does your paper have the resources to locate the section of criminal law of which the 25 people and/or the priest, who gathered for prayer at a private location last Sunday were in breach?
If a breach did not occur, as we suspect, is the person who called in the Gardai, guilty of harassment, or of some other misdemeanour?
Please note the statement by Minister Stephen Donnelly, Minister for Health in Dail Eireann on 22nd October last year: “I assure the Deputy (Michael McNamara) and other colleagues that with regard to penalties, religious services are non-penal in that there is no penalty attached to them.”
