The health guidelines on playing outdoor sports and team sports are unclear and confusing for many sports clubs. Different sporting organisations are interpreting the guidelines differently. We have a situation now where players can play one day for Clanna Gael Fontenoy in Ringsend but the same players cannot play for St. Patrick's CYFC in Ringsend in the eastern women's football league the next day. Clubs in Naas and Clontarf can play rugby but St. Patrick's CYFC cannot play soccer. All sports clubs, including soccer, rugby, GAA and hockey, should be opened or closed on the same basis. Can the Taoiseach give consistency in messaging and clear guidelines to sports organisations? Some clubs are being treated unfairly and it is bonkers for the clubs.
