The GAA President has said that he doesn't expect GAA to resume in any capacity until August or September at the earliest.
In a message to clubs in the newest monthly newsletter John Horan gave an update on the situation.
Mr Horan stressed that health would be put above any plans to return to play and that a return to hurling and football at club and county level is "a long way off".
The GAA President said: "Amid all the speculation about the possibility of there being any form of Gaelic games being played in 2020, there is the important fact that public health is more important than any return to play protocol.
"Health is wealth and the GAA won’t be interested in compromising this. So, while it may be the case that in the coming weeks there are some easing of restrictions in society – the GAA remains a long way off a return to training and matches at club or county level.
"As an Association, we have said that our preference would be to play a period of club games only before contemplating an inter-county fixture programe.
"It means it is likely there will not be any activity before August or September. To allow the Association to possibly play inter-county Championships in a new schedule and in a new timeframe, a Special Congress was required which granted us the power to do that.
"Sadly, this doesn’t make a return to games any more imminent."
He added that the GAA will be back at some stage but they won't make "reckless" decision to rush it.
Mr Horan said: "To return prematurely to action would be reckless and disregard all of the effort and sacrifice which has been invested by so many.
"There will be games again some day and the GAA will come back stronger than ever. If we stay the course, we have a chance to make sure we return with so many of our friends and family who remain at risk while this crisis continues.
"Let’s continue to play our part. Continue to stay safe and continue to hope."
