Temporary governance structure motion passed at GAA Special Congress

The GAA have announced that the motion for a temporary goverance structure in emergency situations was passed unopposed at the Special Congress today.

This motion will allow a decision on when the championship will be played to made quickly with all county boards contacted.

The Munster Hurling championship that was scheduled to begin on 10 May was postponed earlier in the week as the GAA indicated it is highly unlikely that any games will be played before July.

The Senior inter-county championships, scheduled to begin in May, will be postponed until further clarity on the current situation is available.

However, it is the Association’s view that it is highly unlikely these will be rescheduled any time before the beginning of July, at the earliest.

When sporting activity recommences, the GAA will accommodate both club and county games. The Association also intends to complete the Allianz Leagues, or at least those games that have a bearing on next year’s divisions, where possible.
