A protest had been held last week.

Up to 100 guests can now attend a wedding.

The new allowance came in today after a protest took place outside the Dáil last week calling for an increase in numbers.

Before this, weddings had been capped at 50 guests.

Baptisms can also take place again from today, but the advice is to not have social gatherings afterwards.

Confirmations and communions have not yet been given the go-ahead.

Live Music & Dancing

Live music is not allowed at the reception.

However, there can be live music at the ceremony itself, but it's reported that is "subject to follow HPSC guidance on music in places of worship".

There is also no dancing allowed.

Food & Drink

Meals must be sit down only.

There can be no self-service stations, meaning all food/drink tables must be staffed.

And as with bars and restaurants, curfew is 11:30pm.
