Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Covid-19: Impact on Team Sport in Ireland
Mr. Philip Browne:
I appreciate that. I will just echo what Mr. Horan and Mr. Owens have said. We had successful summer camps towards the end of the summer and, from a kid's point of view, they were enormously successful. It is just so important for the kids to be out on the park. It requires good organisation and good protocols. At club level that can all be delivered. Obviously, schools are a slightly different environment. It is really a matter for the schools themselves as to how far they want to go in giving access to sports during the school year. Some schools are very open to this; others are more cautious. We will work very closely with them and the expert group. Level 3 in Dublin will be a bit of a blow for those clubs that had opened up but we just have to deal with that.
