John Treacy: Indoor sport unlikely before vaccine 

The resumption of such activities is “a long way away,” Mr Treacy said.

With indoor training not allowed during Level 5 restrictions, many clubs in sports like gymnastics, basketball and swimming are facing a financial crisis

Sport Ireland CEO John Treacy believes indoor sports such as basketball will not take place in Ireland until a vaccine is available, adding that the resumption of such activities is “a long way away”.

With indoor training not allowed during Level 5 restrictions, many clubs in sports like gymnastics, basketball and swimming are facing a financial crisis with reduced revenue and declining memberships. At an Oireachtas committee yesterday Treacy was asked when events like basketball’s Super League might resume.
