Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Covid-19: Impact on Team Sport in Ireland
Mr. Mark Scanlon:
The final figure will depend on the roadmap and the number of fans allowed back into the stadiums. That is why we are working on three scenarios at the moment, as Mr. Owens outlined earlier. One scenario involves full stadiums, which is very unlikely. The second involves cluster groups within stadiums, depending on what percentage may be safe for a return in the next few months. The pilot projects and international experience will help us define that. The final scenario is a worst-case one where there are no fans. It would be very difficult for a professional league to continue in that manner.
