Éire Óg Inis-Member update on return to club activity 21 June 2020

We are busy in the background preparing for reopening our club grounds. The Clare County Board have released revised fixtures for adult GAA competitions which will be circulated once finalised after club delegates discuss with the County Boards next week. To date the underage competition schedules for hurling and football have not yet been received by clubs so we await correspondence from the underage boards on this. Our camogie & ladies football sections will communicate their fixture schedules to you directly.

Prior to returning to the club all players (or guardians for underage players), coaches, & other team personnel, club volunteers and officers will have to do each of the following:

1. Complete an online Covid-19 Education Module: online Covid-19 Education module link, this can be done now and takes approx 20 mins, screenshot or print/save to pdf the certificate at the end, it will need to be shown at the club when requested. *email your certificate to: documents.eireoginis@gmail.com
2. Complete an online health questionnaire: the link for this has not yet been sent to clubs and will be forwarded as soon as we get it
3. Ensure your club membership is up to date and club development levy has been paid: Online membership link

Any club member with concerns or changed circumstances due to Covid should contact: 

Chair: Jim Cooney 087-6820572 or Secretary: Paddy Smyth 087-2207767

The club has appointed a Covid Co-ordinator and club officers are meeting team managers to ensure conformity with the guidelines issued by the GAA, Camogie Association and LGFA. The clubhouse and changing rooms will remain closed until further notice but there will be access to toilets. A timetable for pitch use is being drawn up in agreement with team managers.  Re-opening of facilities will be on a gradual basis, with priority in the first week being given to senior teams.

Further updates will issue as the situation develops.

Below is the latest update from the GAA, Camogie Association & LFGA in relation to return to club activity, released Saturday 20/06/2020.

The following changes to the return to activity guidelines are being made after recommendations from this morning’s Covid-19 Advisory Committee.

These changes were subsequently endorsed by the GAA, the Camogie Association and the LGFA.

This week:

• Open pitches for Adult training next Wednesday, June 24th. 
• Open for Minor and below from Saturday, June 27th.
• Both of the above on a non-contact basis and on the understanding that players and all participants have completed the eLearning module and are following the control measures in place (health questionnaire etc).
• On the basis of a maximum of 15 players in a designated area of the field (26 Counties) and 10 players in a designated area of the field (6 Counties).
• Coaching numbers for underage teams to be consistent with Code of Behaviour.

From June 29th:

• Allow contact training and challenge games for all from Monday, June 29th (26 Counties).
• We await guidance from the NI Executive in relation to 6 Counties – non-contact training in the numbers outlined above in the interim.

• Restriction on participants-only attending training sessions to be relaxed from June 29th – subject to government specified maximum of 200 people in the ground. 
• Allow Club Fixtures from Friday July 17th.
• No change to inter-county dates (Sept 14th for training; competitions to start on Oct 17th as planned).
• All control measures for players, coaches and other team personnel (completion of health questionnaire, eLearning education etc) is to remain in place until advised otherwise; dressing rooms to remain closed until July 20th
• The Advisory Committee is considering the position in relation to other GAA buildings (such as Club bars that are serving food, Gyms, Handball alleys etc). Guidance will be provided in this context before June 29th
