The Mayo county board has eased the burden on its clubs by suspending all levy payments for two months.
With all GAA activity in lockdown until March 29, and most likely beyond, in line with the Government measures announced last week in a bid to slow the spread of coronavirus, it will lessen the financial strain on clubs that have little or no income at the moment.
A statement from Mayo GAA read: “In light of the current COVID-19 situation we are all facing, the Mayo GAA Executive can confirm we will be suspending all levy payments to our clubs for the months of March and April.
“We appreciate many clubs and their members are facing an uncertain future and we want to try and help ease the burden on all clubs across the county by suspending their payments during this time. This situation will be reviewed next month & clubs will be updated accordingly.
“We would also like to acknowledge the good work many clubs are currently undertaking to help the more vulnerable members of their community during this time and we thank them for this invaluable effort. Clubs are reminded to continue to follow the HSE and Government guidelines as best they can to avoid the spread of COVID-19.”
