The GAA are due to publish their roadmap for a return to play this evening.
It follows the government’s easing of restrictions which will allow elite athletes return to training from Monday.
Groups of no more than fifteen will be allowed to congregate for sporting reasons.
While greyhound racing will be allowed to resume behind closed doors.
However, it appears that the FAI and IRFU are to suffer serious financial blows.
An Taoiseach Leo Varadkar confirmed that a ban on mass gatherings will continue into the autumn.
