Plans to have stadia at 5% capacity in July, Minister says

'We'd be looking at starting with a limited number of spectators and building on that. About 5% of a stadium would be what we had in the draft guidelines'

Five percent of Croke Park would be roughly 4,100, with Thurles and Páirc Uí Chaoimh coming in between 2,000-2,500.

Gaelic games and League of Ireland stadia operating at 5% capacity in July will be the first step in the return of crowds to sporting fixtures, Minister of State for Sport Jack Chambers has said.

Chambers said this afternoon there “is very extensive planning” ongoing surrounding the return of spectators in the months ahead.
