The leader of the Irish Catholic Church has met with the Irish government to discuss what he calls a draconian ban on public Mass.
Archbishop Eamon Martin said he shared his concerns over the criminalising of leading public worship.
It comes as the Irish Department of Health confirms that three cases of the Indian Covid-19 variant have been detected in the Republic.
At least two of those were related to travel, reports RTÉ.

The Catholic Archbishop Eamon Martin and the Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly have met to discuss the publication of a Statutory Instrument which affects public worship.
Archbishop Martin told Minister Donnelly there were concerns expressed with regard to the criminalising of leading, and gathering for, public worship at this time in Ireland despite the consistent support from the churches for public health messaging since the beginning of the pandemic.

Ireland is in breach of the World Health Organization s International Health Regulations (IHR) on contagious disease control by failing to designate a competent authority at its ports and airports, according to documents seen by RTÉ News.
The documents also show that Ireland has been non-compliant for approximately a decade, despite high-level discussions on the issue between the Health Service Executive, Department of Health and Department of Transport.
Under the IHR a competent authority at points of entry must be designated to monitor the risk of dangerous contagious diseases entering the State.
Ireland has no such designated competent authority points of entry to the country.
