The guidance has been issued to the GAA on the return to senior inter-county training. It has been issued for Monday of this week. I realise that many young adults want to get back to training, be it with their clubs or their counties. That will be part of the review we will have next week for May. It is very important that we get many of our young adults back playing. We recognise the current difficulty. It is a matter of weeks before we get much more of the sporting system up and running. Senior inter-county was part of that this week, but there is also broadening high-performance sport. Many pathway athletes across a range of sports have not been able to train and we prioritised them as well. They have got the go-ahead from next Monday.
