Special Committee on Covid-19 Response

Covid-19: Impact on Team Sport in Ireland

Mr. Tom Ryan:

As of today, our losses for this year stand at €21 million. We hope to embark upon playing senior inter-county championships over the course of the next two or three months. The amount at risk for us as that championship plays out is potentially up to another €20 million. On top of that, and I am talking here purely as a governing body, the projections for the Thirty-two Counties and the four provincial councils is a further €11 million of losses this year. In totality for the organisation, excluding clubs, I am talking about €32 million lost and the prospect of a further €20 million at risk as we embark upon the championship. It is stark.
