The Clare Champion Clare news, sport, entertainment and local notes
Munster GAA has said it is open to increasing capacity for Sunday’s Munster Hurling Cup match between Clare and Limerick if restrictions are lifted in time.
Ed Donnelly, communications manager for Munster GAA, told The Clare Champion, “We’re not going to cap attendance at 5,000 if we’re allowed to have more but it really depends on when we find out and what the specifics are.
“The key word is ‘if’, at the moment, as it is all speculation. We have no direct line into Nphet or the government, no more than anyone else,” said Mr Donnelly.
“In the event that restrictions are lifted, hopefully this evening, and they take effect ahead of Sunday’s game then we can put plans in place to increase the capacity for Sunday.
“The key things are a) is it going to happen and b) if it does happen, what are we talking? Are we talking 6,000 people, 10,000, is it unlimited?”
Hurling fans who missed out on the first round when the 5,000 tickets sold out rapidly can keep an eye on Munster GAA’s social channels for further updates.
