The Diocese of Kerry is holding firm on its announcement last week that it'll follow public health advice when setting a date for the resumption of first communions and confirmations.

In a statement issued this afternoon, the Diocese of Kerry says it hopes that first communion and confirmation ceremonies will take place once schools return after the summer holidays.
