An Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar today (Thursday 14 May), met with representatives of the Catholic Church, Archbishop Eamon Martin, Archbishop Diarmuid Martin and Archbishop Kieran O’Reilly (President, Vice President and Secretary of the Irish Episcopal Conference) to share thoughts on the reopening of places of worship over the course of the summer. 

The Church shared information on the work that is being done at all levels to develop a national church plan for the safe reopening and emphasised it will play its part in applying public health measures to ensure the health and safety of its congregation.
