A man holding a protest against churches being closed during the Covid-19 crisis says he wouldn’t be surprised if he is still protesting by Christmas Day.

Pensioner, Sean Barry, started his protest outside his local church in North Cork last Monday week and says he doesn’t blame local clergy but “a weak hierarchy".
