The GAA says it does not expect any intercounty football or hurling until October.
In statement released on Wednesday evening, the Association confirmed that it is instructing its clubs and counties to continue to adhere to the restrictions and to refrain from organising on-field activity.
These measures are expected to remain in place until July 20.
Croke Park says it will continue to monitor the dates and timelines as revealed by the Government and our arrangements will remain under constant review.
The Player Injury Scheme is suspended and will remain so until an official return to action protocol is confirmed.
The GAA says it still hopes to be able to play county and club competitions this year, subject to public health guidance.
However, no inter-county games are expected to take place before October.
Counties have been directed, in the interest of players, to suspend all inter-county training until further notice.
The statement says that there will be a phased resumption of training at both club and county level to allow players to prepare appropriately for playing games.
While not categorically ruling out the possible staging of games behind closed doors later in the year, there appears to be a lack of appetite for this type of fixture-scheduling at the current time across the wider Association.
The GAA has also confirmed the appointment of a dedicated Covid-19 Advisory Group which will advise the Association on matters relating to return to play protocols and other similar issues.
The members of this group are as follows:
Shay Bannon (Chairman) – existing Chairman of Health and Safety group
Dick Clerkin (existing Chairman of Medical Scientific and Welfare Committee)
Dr Pat O’Neill (Dublin)
Dr Kevin Moran (Donegal)
Dr Jim O’Donovan (Limerick)
Dr Seán Moffatt (Chair of Gaelic Medical Association and Mayo team doctor)
Paul Flynn (CEO Gaelic Players Association)
Stephen Mc Geehan (Head of Operations, Ulster GAA)
Tony Mc Guinness (Events and Safety Manager, Croke Park)
Sinéad McNulty (CEO An Cumann Camógaíochta)
Helen O’Rourke (CEO Ladies Gaelic Football Association)
John Horan (Uachtarán CLG)
Tom Ryan (Ard Stiúrthóir CLG)
Feargal Mc Gill (Director of Player, Club and Games Administration).
The outcome of this group’s work will be a graduated approach, informed and guided by the recently published Government Roadmap and by Government policy from Stormont.
