Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Impact on Sport in Ireland

Mr. John Kelly:

I completely agree with the Deputy. It is our objective to be as clear as possible and I think that the roadmap will help to give people a sense of what each level means. We have good relations with the Department of the Taoiseach, from which the roadmap emanates, and with the Department of Health. We have taken an approach to sport where we take the guidelines, go away and then come back with our solutions. That has worked well. The committee has heard Mr. McDermott say that Sport Ireland is in regular contact with NGBs. We try to get it as clear as possible and to get all the wrinkles ironed out before anything goes out. With the best will in the world, that is not always possible so we try to clarify it as soon as possible. Mr. McDermott might address his contacts with NGBs.
