Former GAA president Nickey Brennan believes the GAA should request that inter-county training resumes the weekend after St Patrick’s Day, if the national Covid picture continues to improve during the next three weeks.

The current restrictions on sport are in place until April 5, at which point there would need to be a drop from Level 5 to Level 4 in the Government’s Covid strategy or an exemption provided outside of the Level 5 framework to enable GAA inter-county activity get off the ground at Easter.
