The gates of GAA grounds around the country will be pulled closed today while club action continues today.

Spectators will be excluded from games following Taoiseach Micheál Martin’s announcement on Tuesday that all sport was to take place behind closed doors as the country attempts to supress the spread of Covid-19.

Fans have been asked by clubs and county boards to adhere to the public health guidance and not attempt to attend matches in the Republic.

Meanwhile, in the North crowds of up to 400 have been allowed by Ulster GAA as the Northern Irish executive decided not to include outdoor sporting events in amended crowd restrictions.
