A Wexford priest broke down in tears yesterday (Monday) describing the heartbreak of seeing grandchildren locked outside his church due to draconian restrictions, virtually unheard of anywhere else in Europe.
Fr Gerry O Leary has celebrated nine funerals since the third lockdown began on St Stephen s Day and says it is causing him incredible stress whenever he has to inform a family that only ten people can attend the ceremony inside his church doors. There is no one size fits all when it comes to funerals. I ve had nine since the third lockdown started and we have kept to the ten every time. I can see families are being very badly affected by the restrictions, Fr O Leary said.
