Can the Minister of State answer the question about who is responsible for making the decisions? Is it the Government or the sporting organisations? The sporting organisations are saying that only a certain number of people can train. Who is setting the rules? For example, the GAA stated last weekend that only inter-county elite athletes can train, but those under 20 years old could not train. Was that decision made by the GAA or the Government? For me, a 20-year-old is an adult, and they are elite and play inter-county football. They should be allowed to train with the adults. Who is making the decisions, the Government or the sporting organisations?
