Sport and authorities will find common ground, reckons O'Neill

Speaking to the Irish Examiner last week, O’Neill’s fellow Covid-19 advisory group member Professor Mary Horgan said the GAA would have a strong case for the easing of crowd restrictions from 200 to 500 people if face coverings were made mandatory for spectators. Picture: Ramsey Cardy/Sportsfile

Dr Pat O’Neill is confident there will be attempts to achieve common ground between sports organisations and the National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET) regarding spectators restrictions at games.

Dublin’s 1995 All-Ireland SFC winning manager and two-time winning player is a member of the GAA’s Covid advisory group and is hopeful there will be more considered proposals coming forward regarding numbers allowed to attend games.
