Micheál Carrigy, who is Fine Gael’s Seanad spokesperson on Media, Arts, Sports & Tourism, said, “It has been a year like no other for Irish sport, and over the next few weeks we have the All-Ireland hurling, camogie and football finals to look forward to.

“Our players and their support staff deserve a huge amount of credit for their dedication and professionalism over the last number of months in providing people with enjoyment in what has been such a challenging year.

“Management and board officials have also ensured that all safety protocols around training and matches has been monitored closely so that the games passed off safely during the pandemic.

“I would once again like to thank those involved for the commitment they have shown in the safe staging of games and training over the last number of months.
