My Department is committed to ongoing positive engagement with local schools and club communities in allowing the use of military facilities, where possible. In light of COVID-19, all long term and routine users of such facilities were notified at the time that the use of facilities was suspended. My Department will be in touch with clubs and other such users shortly with a view to informing them, subject to the requirements of the Defence Forces, as to the extent that facilities may be available for the period ahead.
