The “downright rude and uncooperative” behaviour of a small number of Massgoers in Carrick-on-Shannon has been criticised amid ongoing Covid-19 restrictions.
A note in the parish bulletin reads that the overall response “of our parishioners has been very positive. It has also enabled us to join with different families from our parish in celebrating anniversary Masses.”
However, as the numbers of parishioners attending grew, volunteers had to manage the number of people in attendance and this lead to issues. “It is a major disappointment to learn that a small number of people have been downright rude and uncooperative with our volunteers,” the bulletin states.
“We will now have to closely monitor our numbers attending and if we deem it necessary, we may have to introduce a ticketing system as we don’t wish to have to turn people away,” it notes.
