GAA, Camogie Association, and the LGFA suspend all activity until at least 29th March
13 March 2020
The GAA
have taken the unprecedented step of cancelling all games for a two-week
period in response to the on-going coronavirus pandemic.
Games
across all codes will be put on hold after the government announced a
ban on gatherings of more than 500 people for outdoor events and 100 for
indoor events.
A
statement from the GAA read: "In light of this morning's Government
announcement, the GAA, An Cumann Camógaíochta and the Ladies Gaelic
Football Association have decided to suspend all activity at club,
inter-county and educational levels until March 29 (inclusive) from
midnight.
"This is to include all games, training and team gatherings at all ages and all grades.
"We
will continue to liaise with Government officials and review the
situation between now and the end of the month, assessing the impact of
these measures on our competitions.
"In
the meantime, the Association is encouraging all members to continue to
follow the guidelines which have been provided by the health
authorities."
"Clubs are advised to reduce social interactions as much as possible."
