The GAA has asked its members in the 26 counties for patience following last week s announcement by the Irish Government relating to the further relaxing of restrictions for Gaelic Games.
From May 10, outdoor training will be permitted at adult level in pods of a maximum of 15 people (including coaches).
From June 7, club games will be permitted at all levels but must be played behind closed doors.
But the broad announcements did not make any reference to when challenge games will be permitted at inter county level, nor was there any reference to when inter county U20 and minor teams may return to training.

A chara,
I know you will be aware by now of the positive announcement by the Irish Government yesterday in relation to the further relaxing of restrictions for society generally and for Gaelic Games in particular.
As you will appreciate, we need to receive further clarity on aspects of what was announced last evening but broadly speaking the following is what is proposed in the coming weeks:
From 10
th May – Outdoor training is permitted at adult level in pods of a maximum of 15 people (including coaches). However, games are not allowed and indoor facilities must remain closed.
From 7
th June (and subject to the Public Health situation at the time) – Club games will be permitted at all levels but must be played “behind closed doors”.
