Playing games behind closed doors would've been wrong move - GAA chiefs

GAA director general Tom Ryan has said that deciding to play games behind closed doors would have been an “out of touch” move.

Ryan explained: “Off the top of my head, there were 22/23 games this weekend and out of that list there were 15 or 16 that were critical in terms of where League positions might end up or who might be promoted and so on. Taoiseach Leo Varadkar’s announcement in Washington yesterday morning focused minds as to what course of action the GAA should take, said Ryan.

Meanwhile, GAA president John Horan has called for patience around when the Association’s activities will return to normal.
