“I'm not saying that the restrictions should be set aside, what I'm saying is the current restrictions are far too rigid, far too blunt, they could be relaxed somewhat and people would still be safe,” he added. File picture: Pexels

The Catholic Archbishop of Dublin has called for more people to be allowed to attend churches, saying the current restrictions are "too blunt". 

Under the current Level 5 restrictions, all religious services are to be held online, with places of worship only open for private prayer.
