    This new phase has the earliest end date of 13th Sep which is a day before 'Intercounty' training is due to start

    The training restriction is ludicrous, and in effect means that teams can no longer prepare properly.

    The % of positive tests that lead to hospitalization, severe illness and death for age groups taking part in sport are tiny. It is unlikely either that elderly people with underlying conditions are going to be going to see club games.

    Time to call a halt to this. If it is not going to go away then so be it. Can't close the country down for ever, or let it be run by medical bureaucrats.

    190 people to day a lot not elderly .

    Think most people appreciate some form of direction or even logic to decisions being made but this very much seems to be lacking. So from what I can gather max of 15 boys training together from same club but "sporting events" (matches) can continue. We can't train together but could play another team with 48 players minimum plus management there no bother. Perhaps they are looking to force the hand of sporting organisations to call off their respective competitons as this set-up of no group training but matches continuing is not sustainable. I can hear a statement from John Horan with bad news incoming...

    You cant have 15 boys training.
    You need to include the coaches in thst too, so if dealing either children its a maximum of 13 players plus two adults.
    Now my own club has 3 pitches. Doe that mean we could have 3 separate groups training on each pitch?

    Disappointed with that statement to be honest. Been refreshing the club email account all night waiting for guidance on how best to proceed and the only official word we get is this.

    A more appropriate response by government would be to shut all off licences

    Not sure what you were expecting. I imagine the GAA will meet tomorrow to discuss the new restrictions and give guidance afterwards. I think these restrictions have blindsided everyone

    * This was based on some pretty quick Googling

    Raheny Dublin positive case
    Man O'War Dublin positive case
    James Stephens Kilkenny positive case

    711 cases in the last week.

    This is two weeks out from the schools going back.

    But we're free too travel abroad, have any many drinks as we want in 105 mins in a pub, you can have a church full of 50 people over 70, go to a wedding with 50 strangers but parents can't stand at the side of a field (19 times more likely to get it indoors rather than outdoors)while they're children are playing an underage blitz.

    Direct experience of the GAA following Government regulations and guidelines to the letter and beyond. It will be no different this time.

    Absolutely they won't reject the recommendations, but it would be quite the bloody nose for the Government if the empirical evidence is inadequate.
    This is the biggest backlash I have seen since the start of the pandemic.

    I wonder if NPHET will decline the invitation, I doubt they are under any obligation to accept it?

    In other words they may complain about the new rules all they want but at the end of the day they will comply with them. As they have from the start of the virus impacting this country.
