Appeal to allow Eid celebration at Croke Park to go ahead

An appeal has been made to allow a Muslim festival at Croke Park to go ahead, despite restrictions on outdoor gatherings being extended.
500 people have booked to attend the Eid celebration in two weeks time, but only 200 people are currently allowed meet up outside.
The Taoiseach has been asked to make an exception similar to the one made for churches and mosques, that allowed them to increase the numbers attending services.
