The announcement of full lockdown Level 5 Covid-19 restrictions by the Government on Wednesday evening has an immediate impact on sport across Ireland.
All underage and amateur sports, both indoor and outdoor are now halted until at least the end of next month, meaning no training in groups of 15 will take place until the Government lift the full Level 5 restrictions.
Golf courses and tennis clubs will remain off limits until January 31st.
All gyms, leisure centres and swimming pools shut from close of business on New Year’s Eve (December 31st).
As expected, all elite/professional sport will remain unaffected by the latest measures, meaning top level gaelic games, soccer and rugby training and matches – as well as horse racing, greyhound meetings and approved equestrian events can continue behind closed doors.
