Breda O'Brien in her column in The Irish Times yesterday referred to the Irish Government as being post-Christian and that it has been insensitive to the churches when it comes to Easter.
That is not accurate.
O'Brien also talks about how well the churches are sanitised. That is not the universal picture, hence it is misleading.
There is no anti-church Government conspiracy and to say anything different is part of the fake-news conspiracy agenda.
The Government takes its advice from Nphet. When it comes to public health information and it's between the bishops and Nphet, the choice has to be Nphet.
Breda O'Brien asks Government "to show some faith in religious communities". Government has every reason to be less enthusiastic than Ms O'Brien suggests. The facts tell a different story.
Is Ms O'Brien aware of the virulency of the third covid wave that is marching across central Europe at present?
Is she aware or concerned of the age profile of people who attend churches in Ireland?
There were 624 new cases of Covid in the State yesterday.
Over 17,000 new cases in Germany today, five thousand more than this day last year.
Please, Ms O'Brien refrain from using unwise words.
