HSE wedding regulations are ambivalent

Under Level Five concerning Covid-19 regulations the HSE website says: "Up to 6 guests can attend a wedding ceremony and reception".

Does that number include the five essential people at the wedding, the bride, groom, two witnesses and the officiating solemniser?

Are the five 'essential' parties guests? Hardly.

Phoning the HSE special number, 1850 24 1850 does not seem to work. After 11 minutes no reply.

And if one phones a Garda Station one will be no wiser.

The Covid-19 virus means we are living in changing and dynamic times. But there is little doubt that right now there is urgent need for improved communication between the HSE and citizens.

Surely they'd have said persons/people if thats what they meant. I take it to mean 5+6.

I am uncertain what the HSE regulation means.
