A task force representing various indoor sports will make an urgent submission to the Government for fairer treatment as plans are finalised to exit level-5 restrictions.

In a call with the Federation of Irish Sport on Wednesday, chief executives of national governing bodies in 18 indoor sports vented their anger at their exclusion from previous discussions surrounding the return to sporting activities.
