GAA, IRFU and FAI propose masks for fans on stadium return

The focus is initially on larger stadia such as Croke Park and the Aviva, but the same principles could apply to other grounds such as Thomond Park or Semple Stadium. File picture.

For the Lansdowne Roar, read the Aviva Muffle: proposals drafted for government by the GAA, IRFU and FAI to get fans back into stadiums will ask that supporters keep their masks on.

Martin Murphy, chairman of the working group formed by the three field sport organisations, said the proposals were almost finished and would be submitted to the Department of Sport either by the end of this week or early next.
