Cricket Ireland turnover to fall by 25% as a result of pandemic

The impact of the current pandemic, and the measures needed to combat it, on the Irish sporting landscape has been highlighted again with Cricket Ireland's projection that their turnover will shrink by a “minimum” 25%, or roughly €2.5m, in 2020.

CEO Warren Deutrom, in an interview with the Irish Examiner, revealed the figure a day after the organisation announced temporary 20% pay cuts for 25 staff members and furloughs, in line with the UK government's job retention scheme, for the other half-dozen based in the north.
