Irish Archbishops call for Catholics to be allowed to attend Mass

So it seems like the Irish government is failing to do the necessary prior research on whether or not laws it imposes are legal and valid!

News from Scotland that worship bans are against European and Scottish Law.1 Stephen Donnelly late last year saying that the Mass ban was not a 'penal provision' now they are saying it is!2

And just today, news that forcing hotel quarantine costs on EU citizens could be illegal.3

It just goes from bad to worse with this government, on the back of mismanaging the vaccine rollout and all the attendant arrangements, so much left undone, even as of today talking about starting an online booking system - should have been sorted out last year!

Instead of seeking to reverse course, they just double down on their errors.
