GAA plans stringent health and safety guidelines
However, the chairman of the GAA’s national infrastructure and safety committee, Seamus McCloy, claims the Association is quickly coming to grips with the matter and revealed that some county grounds that might normally expect to host championship games will be prevented from doing so if they fail to meet strict guidelines.
While Saturday’s Central Council meeting agreed that the standards laid down by the committee would have to be met from January 1, 2011, McCloy has indicated that they will, in fact, be enforced next year. The committee has carried out an audit of all county grounds in recent months and a number of issues will be tackled.
