Covid guidelines for underage indoor games and competitions have been changed, according to the Minister for Sport. In a tweet, Jack Chambers said the Government have agreed to address the issue, particularly for basketball.
The exact details of the changes have not yet been released. He said Sport Ireland will provide the amended guidelines to the various sporting organisations.
It follows calls from organisers and players of indoor sports for clarity around the issue. A number of matches were called off at the weekend because the rules from Sport Ireland stated that anyone taking part must have a Covid cert.
