High-performance athletes are set to be able to return to their training bases from next Monday, RTÉ News has learned. The Cabinet is expected to give formal approval to the move in the next two days after health clearance was secured.
It means that athletes using the National Sports Campus will be able to return to training there. Some 200 competitors including amongst others swimmers, rowers and sailors can resume training outside of locations close to their homes from early next week.
Up to this point these Olympic athletes were confined to training within the 5km parameters that applied to all groups except for essential workers.
