    So this decision will resolve the meat factory and house party problems? Disgraceful and disgusting decision if true

    Id take behind close doors championship as it will be realistically be on TV/streaming services. Just have to make a day of it at home or in a food pub

    Players deserve to have a few games, they broke there backs training at the start of the year and would be a bit unfair if they pull the championship for financial reasons

    I would take it too but 120 or so spectators at club games at the moment is not a health and safety issue, meat factories and house parties are

    All sporting events will take place behind closed doors, under measures being discussed by cabinet this afternoon.

    RTÉ News understands that a decision has been made not to allow spectators at sporting fixtures.

    This makes no sense to me at all, you can't go to match but can book a table and watch it in a crowed pub.

    Will the 15 limit for outdoor events stop the club championships?

    well I think it needs to be clarified. The 200 limit was supposed to include the players. Not possible to have a match if the total limit is 15!

    Think it's just been clarified that sport events take place without any spectators.

    I think it will fall under the exception category like religious events are...

    People getting out of their faces in bars and hotels and no-one allowed watch a match!!!

    Next time the state wants to do some virtue signalling, the GAA should tell them where to go.

    Seems like some people want us to return to serf status.

    People don't mind tough decisions like this if there's logic, merit and/or common sense behind it, on all known evidence this decision lacks all 3 of the above...

    If they switched the under 11 match to Greenland or Greece, all the parents could go and watch it then!!

    Training restricted to 15? FFS. A full panel can't train together. Government are losing the good will big time.

    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.

    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...

    But matches can go ahead! Makes a whole load of sense. As an old fella said to me about crowd attendance, there will be a lot of fellas made selectors this evening.

    It’s not about everyone catching, it’s about everyone spreading it.
