The IRFU is to make €500,000 available to clubs due to the Covid-19 crisis.
Colin McEntee, the Domestic Game Director, Colin McEntee, will be advising clubs how the fund is to be applied as soon as is practicable.
The clubs have also been provided with guidance and advice in relation to their on-going operation during this unprecedented crisis.
Loans in excess of €4 million have been made available to clubs by the IRFU under its current Financial Assistance Scheme.
A moratorium will be put in place on all club loan repayments for four months from the start of April.
This will benefit the 56 clubs with payments outstanding to a value of over €150,000 during this period.
The IRFU is also encouraging all of its clubs to draw on any government assistance available to them, and there are a range of support schemes for organisations impacted financially from coronavirus.
