Have you heard anything from the government which would make it clearer when training and games can start again?

No, in our conversation with the Minister the other day in which the camogie and ladies football associations were with us, we asked the minister the question as to when he saw us returning to play and he outlined to us in that conversation that the return to education and construction were likely to the main changes in the next level change that comes forward on the 5th of March. We asked him where does sport fit into all this and he said he doesn’t see any changes coming in the remit of sport. It was for that reason that we called our Covid committee together and to give certainty to both our inter-county and our club teams out there who I know are chomping at the bit to get back playing and get back training, we made it clear to them that we, on the information given to us by the Minister, didn’t see any changes coming until the beginning of April at least.
