Petition to Ease Restrictions on Public Worship

In response to the concerns of the bishops of Ireland regarding disproportionate restrictions on public worship, not seen in other member states of the European Union, please sign this petition which calls on the elected members of Dail Eireann to lobby the Taoiseach and the government to ease current restrictions on public worship particularly in relation to funerals, Sunday Mass, and the impending celebration of Easter.
