The season will be written off unless there is a major vaccine breakthrough in the next 3 months. The most prudent thing I can envisage is doing a completion of the leagues behind closed doors or restricted crowds in sept/Oct or even November and starting afresh in February. That way the integrity of the league this year is in tact and counties can plan accordingly for a full 2021 season
I would disagree
I believe our adult leagues/championship will start June-ish and finish by August to allow inter county to go ahead
Our own club leagues could continue on through September and october, with weather, restrictions being concerns
I think underage games will not be played maybe u16/17 games. Main reason being that there may well be a severe lack of match officials.
I think school football will also fall
I think provincial club will also fall
Next year no McKenna cup with the national league on hold dependent on a vaccine
The GAA organization needs cash, the counties need cash and clubs need cash
One cant assist the other without cash
A vaccine will help to assist peoples confidence but most vaccines still have a fail rate.
Schools will reopen, churches will reopen and as various industries - construction, hardware stores, personal hygiene(barbers etc) people will come into contact more.
Many commentators, ministers are saying now we will have to live with the virus.
I can see all inter county games becoming all ticket with reduced attendances so that social distancing can take place
We cant cocoon forever.
These restrictions were put in place to ensure every countries health service didnt get overrun and by and large they havent
Once a country can cope with anticipated cases they will reopen. Economic reasons as well as mental.health and a degree of normality will dictate this.
Take a step back and read the evidence of where we were 8weeks ago, 4 weeks ago and today. Read the rhetoric from governments and scientists worldwide
What they say last week will change next week
Its moving that fast.
When we go back to work there will be new protocols - these will change over the next few weeks.
Yes there will be more infections but the health services should be able to cope - thas what the governments want.
