God will help us defeat Covid-19 faster than science so resuming Mass was a public health necessity, a priest who refused to close his church even when it breached public health restrictions, has said.

Fr PJ Hughes, a parish priest in Cavan, said files have been sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions about his actions but he has continued to keep the doors open to his church.
