Just under half (44%) of adults here said they will only attend live sports events or concerts when a Covid-19 vaccine is available.
And one-fifth of people here support the idea of playing major Irish sporting events including the All Ireland football and hurling championships, behind closed doors.
Other events that that cohort believes should be played out with no spectators are the Six Nations, the autumn internationals and League of Ireland.
Meanwhile, 17% of people are in favour of reduced capacity crowds being allowed to attend such games, the Onside survey found.
The people quizzed stated 50% capacity at stadiums would be their preferred option.
Elsewhere, four in 10 Irish adults believe the remaining Ireland football qualifiers for the postponed Euro 2020 should be played at the Aviva Stadium later this year.
One in four Irish adults are in favour of reduced capacity or digitally streamed music concerts.
Meanwhile, almost six in 10 would rather see such events in major indoor venues hold off on a return until 2021.
