Spectators set for Monday return to GAA venues

Some 100 spectators will be permitted to attend GAA club and inter-county games in the 26 Counties from next Monday, 7th June or 200 where a capacity of 5,000 exists.

Where a ground has a minimum accredited capacity of 5,000, a maximum of 200 spectators can attend.

This number is in addition to players, team personnel, stewards or media attendees.

From 7th June competitive and challenge games at all levels of club and inter county are permitted to take place subject to the Return to Play Protocols

It is likely that from 5th July up to 200 spectators may be permitted to attend games, and up to 500 may be permitted in grounds with a minimum capacity of 5,000.

However this will depend on progress in broader society – if these increases are to be permitted, we will advise in advance of July 5th.

For underage games, where parents are attending in a child-protection capacity, they will count as part of the 100 spectators permitted to attend.

All grounds should have appropriate dispersion measures in place at all entrances and exits and parents/guardians should be advised that congregation in large groups on or outside club grounds is not permitted.

Dressing rooms must remain closed.

Use of Gyms for individual training will be permitted from 7th June.

However, the GAA advise that club or county owned Gyms should remain closed for the moment, unless being used on an individual basis by players on a county panel.

Club bars will be permitted to serve food and alcohol outdoors and in line with general guidance for the sector fdrom Monday next

Drive in events From 7th June Drive-in cinema and drive-in bingo events may take place.
