Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Impact on Team Sport in Ireland

Mr. Gary Owens:

Depending on how we get on with our submission, the club structures we have are at the heart of the association. We need to keep them alive and well. I would reinforce what Mr. Ryan has said. The pressure on the volunteers is just immense now when they have to implement the protocols. In our plans, we are assuming that we will continue with the same support. We put in a new process whereby the clubs can look for funding. The difference between the old regime and the new regime is that there is a formal process now in place. We are sticking rigidly to that. Clubs can apply for it and we will support them where we can. In our submission, in terms of resumptions, if we get the support we are looking for there will be no change to that.
