Good Evening All,
Leinster Committee with Reps from Dublin County Board met tonight,
It was decided to cancel the Juvenile Events (U17-U19) that were scheduled for the 1st of August.
It was also decided to postpone the Junior, Senior & Masters Event from the 8th & 9th August to the 14th, 15th & 16th August on the provision that Phase 4 goes ahead on the 10th of August. If Phase 4 is delayed, then this competition will be cancelled.
The reason behind this is 200 limits on outdoor gatherings cannot be guaranteed by ourselves given that Staff, Officials, Coaches, Parents, Spectators, Athletes Warming up, Competing, & Cooling Down are part of our cumulative numbers. It’s unfortunate but we have to obey government guidelines as they are currently set out.
 
We will not be opening entries until Phase 4 confirmation.
(ie. 6th / 7th of August)

Good Evening All,
 
Due to Ireland not progressing to Phase 4 on the 20th of July, we've been force to rethink how our championships are going to work. As we were working on a capacity of 500, but this is no longer the case. Therefore entries for all three days will not be opening this week.

All, please find the latest Covid 19 update below after consultation with Athletics Ireland insurer:

 

Tuesday 24th March

 

Following the latest announcement from our Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar earlier this evening that from midnight tonight All organised indoor and outdoor events of any size are not to take place.

 

The effect of this government decision means that no Athletics Ireland Provinces, County Boards, Clubs or affiliates can operate in any capacity. As such no insurance covers of Athletics Ireland for Provinces, County Boards, Clubs and individuals are operational during this period.

 

We stress the importance of all our members following this expert advice and hope you all stay safe in these difficult times.

 

For clarification;
The AAI personal accident covers any registered member who is injured as a result of an accident at an official club event or during official club training. This policy does not cover individuals training at their own discretion.

The government directive has now shut down all club activity hence the withdrawal of our club personal accident cover.
