My next question is for Mr. Horan. I was at a meeting last Friday with officials from Cork-Kerry HSE and the understanding there is that no case has been picked up attending or playing any outdoor game. Given that 600,000 people have returned to playing football and hurling, could something be brought into play like what they have in the Six Counties? There, it is self-regulated. The GAA has very professionally returned to play as I know from my own under 12s player clocking in every time he is going to training. Does Mr. Horan think that there should be self-regulation, maybe in consultation with councils around the country, to increase the capacity tailored for every ground?
