The suggestion comes as part of clarification being sought in the wake of yesterday's decision to place all sporting fixtures behind closed doors. It has caused confusion and child protection concerns in a number of counties with underage games programmes in Dublin and Kerry for this evening already set aside. In a note to clubs today the GAA have advised that no more than 40 team personnel, including coaches, back room officials and medical personnel should be allowed access to games for the moment.
