Serious concerns have been raised about the prospect of a mass gathering in Limerick, as a "genuine risk" of a fourth wave remains.

The gathering, understood to be a protest, is part of a larger campaign of 'freedom walks' which look set to take place in various locations across the country on Easter Sunday.
