A branch of the Irish Catholic Association says it was behind a large public gathering in Leitrim over the weekend.
The prayer meeting was held at the Lough Allen Adventure Centre in Drumshambo on Sunday afternoon.
In a statement to Shannonside Northern Sound news, the Leitrim branch of the Irish Catholic Association confirmed that they held a prayer meeting at the Allen Centre in Drumshambo on Sunday afternoon.
New laws introduced last week could see people receive a fine of €127 or up to 6 months in prison for attending specified events in contravention of current health guidelines.
Following a complaint from a member of the public to An Garda Siochána, local Gardaí attended the scene and engaged with members of the group.
According to the Secretary of the Leitrim Branch, Sean Wynne, Gardaí requested that the meeting cease and those gathered disband, with the instruction complied with.
