Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Covid-19: Impact on Sport in Ireland
Mr. John Treacy:
It is worth mentioning that some of the governing bodies are international bodies and so they already have a great deal of information on opening up stadiums and that will move things on in terms of timing. There is a lot of collaboration between the three main field sports. As evidenced this morning, they are working together on this. It is better that everyone moves at the same time. The information is there. This can move on quickly. We meet regularly with Sport Northern Ireland. We are keeping the dialogue open. We are trying to take an all-Ireland approach as best we can, even though we are different jurisdictions in this case.
