The Minister of State for Sport has confirmed that full panels will be able to attend the finals in Ireland in December.
Earlier today, Minister of State for Skills and Higher Education Niall Collins called for the number of players allowed in matches to be expanded after his native Limerick earned his place in this year’s Hurling Senior All-Ireland final. .
Previously, only 40 players were allowed to attend on game day, drawing criticism from Limerick coach John Kiely when his squad members were forced to watch the county’s Munster final victory from home.
Fianna Fáil TD Jack Chambers has since tweeted to confirm that full panels will be able to attend after the country moves to Level 3 restrictions tomorrow.
I’m happy to confirm that full panels will be able to attend on match days when Ireland moves to Tier 3 from tomorrow.
