Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Covid-19: Impact on Team Sport in Ireland
Chris Andrews (Dublin Bay South, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
I acknowledge the significant and amazing work that, as other members mentioned, has been done by volunteers in the sports clubs and organisations during the pandemic. It shows how important sport is in Irish society.
I have a question specifically for the FAI. How realistic is it that the UEFA Euro championships will take place in 2021 given the strong international dimension to the competition? What plans are in place for the next season for the SSE Airtricity League of Ireland? It has been stated that clubs will be struggling without match-day attendance but they will also lose out on commercial and season ticket income. What plans are in place for the League of Ireland clubs? It would be great if the witnesses could answer those questions.
