Bishop Brendan Leahy Bishop Brendan Leahy has appealed to the public to stay diligent over the next 10 days, encouraging continuing compliance with public health regulations.
The Bishop of Limerick said that while weariness has set in, the Faithful must keep their eyes on saving lives.
“The Covid-19 crisis has hit us out of the blue. We didn’t cause it. And, if we’re honest, at this stage many are weary of it…almost annoyingly we are hearing the reminders over and over again: social distancing, handwashing, mask-wearing and as much isolation as possible,” he said.
But he encouraged people to continue to comply, saying that if “we focus… and prevent the loss of more people from this dreadful virus, we will have succeeded in this vital battle in the wider war against Covid. That is the great prize.
“Let’s encourage each other: no to slacking off, yes to diligence.”
