GAA president John Horan does not expect football or hurling to resume while social distancing measures are in place, with the head of the organisation predicting a €50million financial hit this year because of the impact of Covid-19.
Speaking about a host of issues on the first episode of the new series of The Sunday Game, Horan discussed the careful approach the GAA will take and cast further doubt on playing behind closed doors or with sparsely-filled stadia.
Discussing social distancing remaining in society as Gaelic games potentially return, Horan said: "I can't see it happening to be quite honest.
If social distancing is a priority to deal with this pandemic, I don't know how we can play a contact sport. That is what Gaelic games is.
