Special Committee on Covid-19 Response
Covid-19: Impact on Team Sport in Ireland
Mr. Gary Owens:
An important step for us next week is the UEFA Super Cup, as some 20,000 spectators will be on a pilot test there. There will be good learning from that. In Germany, 20% of the fans are already returning so UEFA will be able to help a lot in feeding in what best practice is and in developing protocols. We have used those protocols in our safer return to training and safer return to play protocols and there is a lot of good expertise in those. We will feed that into the group with our colleagues in the IRFU and the GAA and try to present a best-practice case to the Government through the expert medical group.
