Ireland lockdown changes today: The two restrictions changing on April 19 and Level 5 ending timeline

Further lockdown restrictions are set to ease today as sports will get a massive boost thanks to the new measures.

Last week saw four differences come into effect for schools, outdoor gatherings, travel restrictions, and the construction industry.

Today, April 19, will see two major changes put in place as the country gears up to get back to normality.

These include:

GAA

Training for and playing of National Governing Body sanctioned and organised adult inter-county National Gaelic Games Leagues not including under 20 or minor competitions will resume.

Elite sport

High performing athletes, as approved by Sport Ireland, can resume from today.

The next set of important changes are due to take place on April 26 "subject to prevailing public health situation", according to the government website.

These will see the return of outdoor sport, outdoor attractions, underage sport, and attendance at funerals raised to 25.
