Scenes of large crowds congregating near Croke Park without social distancing or face masks were unacceptable and lessons need to be learned, minister Simon Coveney has said.

Mr Coveney said it is incumbent on people who are attending these large-scale events to remember to wear their face masks in order to limit the potential spread of Covid-19.
