Gardaí break up large gathering in Limerick cemetery

An estimated 200 people gathered in St Joseph's Cemetery, Rathkeale, Co Limerick

Gardaí are to prepare files for the director of public prosecutions after they dispersed a large group of people from a cemetery in Limerick.

It is alleged they were celebrating the birthday of a deceased person, in what gardaí described as a “contravention” of Covid-19 public health guidelines.
