Seán Kelly appeals for two-week lockdown on all sporting events

Former GAA president Seán Kelly has recommended playing all sporting events in this country behind closed doors for the next fortnight.

All League of Ireland soccer and GAA National League games fixed for this weekend are, at the time of writing, scheduled to go ahead without restriction, but Kelly is in favour of all fixtures being closed off to the public for a period of two weeks in a bid to lessen the spread of the coronavirus.
