The Government will permit limited crowds to attend sporting events from tomorrow as part of the 'Plan for Living with Covid-19', announced today.

The plan is based on five levels of response, up to a maximum of Level 5 where a lockdown would come into effect. Ireland is currently judged to be at Level 2, where sporting events can continue under specific conditions.
