Dick Clerkin: "We’ve always just advised our members to do as much as they can within the guidelines so there’s not a huge amount more they can do than they have in the past." The GAA will set about reviewing its existing Covid protocols with the news that inter-county training can resume next month. And while the return to some action, with panels permitted to train from April 19, was a welcome development, there was disappointment for large parts of the GAA membership. Taoiseach Mícheál Martin referenced the possible return to action for teams in late May, meaning club players are still a long way off a possible return. Dick Clerkin, chairman of the GAA’s medical, scientific and welfare committee and who sits on their Covid advisory group, insists the GAA will be ready to return when given the green light.
