Given the current exceptional rise in infection rates of Covid 19 and the increased risk of community transmission, the GAA has taken the decision that there will be no collective training permitted for inter-county teams for at least the remainder of the month of January.

  • All activities at O’Tooles GAC are now suspended.  Please note that GAA insurance will not cover any activities during this period.  This applies to all ages and grades.
  • No training will be permitted
  • All games are suspended
  • The clubhouse and bar will remain closed and we ask all our members to continue to follow the advice of the HSE and to continue to monitor our social media channels for any updates.

We would also request that our members continue to look after each other and our vulnerable friends and neighbours in our community.

The GAA Issued an update on 5th January, which stated:

“Given the current exceptional rise in infection rates of Covid 19 and the increased risk of community transmission, the GAA has taken the decision that there will be no collective  training permitted for inter-county teams for at least the remainder of the month of January.  

In addition, Club and County gyms must stay closed until further notice.  

As previously advised, and under the current Government Regulations in both jurisdictions, neither training nor games are permitted at club level currently.   

Breaches of any of the above provisions will be dealt with under Rule 7.2 (e) “Misconduct considered to have discredited the Association”. The full wording of this Rule and potential penalties are included as an Appendix 1 below.  

As you are aware, the current Level 5 restrictions in the South will run until January 31st at which point the GAA will review the current situation and further advice in this context will be provided.  “
