The fixtures itself are not the problem.
It's the sessions in pubs afterwards that do the damage. Moycullen, Meath, Cavan, Cork. The list goes on.
Exactly. Largely, the games have not been the problem overall, bar some exceptions in the likes of Dungarvan who have knowingly chosen to play players who were either positive or awaiting the result of the test putting others at risk.
Outside of the game on the field, the GAA clubs and supporters have a lot to answer for.
Examples like this in the stands. The GAA were crying out for weeks to 'allow the auld man in to watch a match' but then the same clubs and people then failed to actually adhere to the rules and packed in supporters as much as they could with no care for social distancing.
Scenes like this in Moycullen after the match. That is down the people involved with the clubs, the players, the firneds & families etc.

That video is disgraceful. If all them people lived together or alone fair enough but many would be living with their families and they have risked their families lives now and the lives of many in the local communities and surrounding areas. The football match was an under 20s, I think. That's what I read not so long ago. Some of them would have younger siblings and then their is potential for them to carry virus into schools. Then there would be the parents who would be older. Perhaps in their 40s or 50s. They are also at risk, not to mention if any of them work in jobs.
Can people not see why we are asked not to form in large crowds like this and keep our contacts low? All it would have taken was one person to be infected that night, to infect 100s there.
The sad thing is many people who weren't there that night will now be at risk. Like people working in the local area of Moycullen. This will also no doubt leak into the surrounding villages of boleybeg, barna, furbo, spiddal, ougherard.
God, I followed the guidelines to a T since all of this began to keep everybody is my small circle of close contacts as safe as possible. I can't understand that selfish and greedy carry on shown here.0 -
