Baptisms, communions, and confirmations should not go ahead until further notice, the Government has clarified.

During the press conference following the Taoiseach's announcement that the return of indoor dining was to be postponed, Tánaiste Leo Varadkar said religious ceremonies were also to be delayed, scuppering plans for events due to take place as early as the coming days.
