As the statutory body with responsibility for the development of sport, Sport Ireland has issued guidance to the sport sector on the practical implications for sport of the various Covid-19 restrictions that have been introduced to date. The guidance issued by Sport Ireland applies to the sport sector generally, including gyms, pools etc which operate within the leisure, health and fitness sectors.

Sport Ireland’s guidance is informed by and aligned with public health guidance developed by the Department of Health and the Health Service Executive.

Sport Ireland and the Expert Group on Return to Sport continue to engage with Ireland Active, the representative body for the leisure, health and fitness sector, and to provide guidance on specific issues as required.
