Return to training
The GAA's Covid advisory group has determined that it would be irresponsible to permit a return to collective training at this time. But the specialist committee, established to help the association navigate its way through the pandemic, says it was encouraged by the ongoing reduction in case numbers and it will reconvene in just over two weeks to assess the matter again.
