John Fogarty: As Croke Park plans, the county boards laugh
Well, nobody could say the GAA haven’t treaded softly. Too softly at times. The insistence on players and management filling out a questionnaire each time they entered their club’s grounds would have been bureaucratic hell.
Similarly, putting the responsibility of temperature checks on volunteers was a weight too much to bear. It came as no surprise when that precaution was ditched nor when the role of a Covid-19 officer was downgraded to supervisor. By all means, insist that completing the coronavirus eLearning module be a requisite to returning to play and being involved and ensure there is sanitising everywhere but anything else and the law of diminishing return to play would have applied.
