A priest in Dublin has been ordered to stop giving people communion.
Parishioners were receiving communion through a door of the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Huntstown.

Many of those who attended over a number of weeks visited the church after watching Mass online.
Gardaí said they became aware of an “organised activity” taking place at the church.
Officers then intervened and people can no longer receive communion in the west Dublin parish.
One of the local priests said the activity had stopped as they were told it was an organised event and in breach of public health rules.
