The Bishops of Clogher and Waterford and Lismore have given the go-ahead for Communions and Confirmations to take place from next month.
The Bishop of Waterford and Lismore, Alphonsus Cullinan, said that Sacraments for children will get under way from mid-August.
In a statement, he said that after seeing large crowds gathering at "all kinds of venues" lately, he believed that there was "no valid reason for the further postponement of the Sacraments for our children".
Yesterday, Taoiseach Micheál Martin said he accepted that the restrictions around holding Communions and Confirmations were "very difficult".
