Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Impact on Sport in Ireland

Mr. John Kelly:

In July, in recognition of the challenges pools face, a special fund was announced essentially to help them reopen. Reopening was very costly for a lot of them. The Deputy will see that, according the recent roadmap, if schools can do social distancing safely, they can have more people in, which will help them with the bottom line. That is what we have done to help them out. It is very challenging, though, and we are very aware of that. I will ask Mr. Hogan to come in from the expert group's perspective on what it has done in this area.
