Basketball Ireland blast 'mixed messages' and 'unfair halting' of season by authorities 

'We understand the pressure decision-makers are under, but communication is a basic necessity in these times and we feel very let down'

They also asked for a definitive response and an end to the "mixed messages and lack of firm commitments" they believe have been given to them thus far.

Basketball Ireland have hit out at the lack of information that they have received from health authorities after their season was put on hold just hours after it was due to commence.

In a statement, they blasted the "unfair halting" of the competition and said they have "sought explanation and assurances from authorities, in order that it can plan the launch of its season".
