A couple preparing to get married next month say they're frustrated at the lack of certainty over the number of guests who can attend their reception.
Previously, the Taoiseach said the plan was to allow 100 guests attend from August.
However the Tanaiste said yesterday that may not happen and people should plan for 50 being permitted.
Shane Conroy and his bride-to-be, Grainne, are set to get married on August 19th, after rescheduling 3 times due to the pandemic.
He says the news has come as a surprise:

"If anyone is planning a wedding in August, operate on the basis it will be 50, but it might increase."
Ciara Crossan from WeddingDates.ie says the comments from the Tanaiste will have a huge impact
