The director of one Dublin's largest funeral homes has said large churches and cemeteries should be able to accommodate 25 to 50 people with social distancing measures in place.
Speaking to RTÉ’s This Week programme, David Fanagan of Fanagans Funeral Directors said "numbers in a church shouldn’t be a problem, there should be 25 or 50.
Having 25 or 50 worked really well last summer where they divided the church into four or five pods of ten. If socially distanced it can work," he said.
He said large cemeteries could also accommodate more than the 10 mourners which is currently allowed under Level 5 restrictions. "Cemeteries could cope with 40 or 50 spread out widely.
