The reaction from Cork City to fresh proposals for the possible resumption of the League of Ireland is that playing behind closed doors is a non-runner, whereas deferring the season to the autumn may yet prove to be the most realistic option.

Emerging from talks between the FAI and the National League executive committee, a number of potential solutions are now being considered in light of the government ban on gatherings in excess of 5,000 people until the end of August.
