Guidance on deferring confirmations and communions expected in coming days

The Archbishop of Dublin will issue guidance on deferring confirmations and communions in the coming days.

The government says they won't be allowed until at least July - even though public Masses can resume on May 10th.

The cap on funerals and weddings will also increase to 50 that day.

Archbishop Dermot Farrell says communions and confirmations won't be held for a while yet.
