Notice required for all road events

Clubs organising long puck and other competitions that take place on roads have been told they must provide advance notice of their events if they are to be covered by the GAA’s insurance.

The Association’s risks and insurance manager Sinead Leavy revealed some clubs only informed her on the day of their gatherings they were going ahead.

“Events that take place on a road are not automatically covered unless notified in advance,” said Leavy.
