The Allianz Leagues return on 8 May.
The GAA are awaiting clarification from the Government about whether or not inter-county challenge games would be allowed following the latest easing of Covid-19 restrictions.
There was good news for the Association in Thursday’s announcement by Taoiseach Micheál Martin with adult club training permitted from 10 May, while games behind closed doors may take place from 7 June.
However, there were no mentions of when challenges between inter-county teams will be allowed.
