The Government has decided against allowing an increase in crowd sizes at matches.

Their decision not to press ahead with phase 4 of their roadmap from next Monday means that crowds will remain capped at 200 at outdoor events.

It had been hoped that attendances could increase to a maximum of 500, but NPHET have advised against this.

The GAA have also cancelled season tickets ahead of this year's inter-county championships, saying they had no other choice.
