The restoration of full capacity crowds to live sports will save the IRFU, GAA, and FAI an estimated €72m in lost ticketing revenues for the year ahead.

Croke Park, Páirc Uí Chaoimh, and Aviva Stadium will also be boosted by an additional €20m in revenue from 18 concerts across the three venues in the coming months, which will now go ahead.
