Ireland has moved from a short-term emergency response approach to a medium-term approach to managing risk and repairing the damage that COVID-19 has inflicted on society.

As of tomorrow 07th October it has been announced that the all counties in the Republic of Ireland move into Level 3. Level 3 restrictions will remain in place for at least 3 weeks, at which point the situation will be reviewed by the government, based on the status of the virus and the pertinent public health advice. These measures come into effect at midnight Tuesday 06/10/20.
The Irish Athletic Boxing Association have received some clarification from the Expert Group on Return to Sport regarding the application of Level 3 restrictions for our affiliated clubs in, below are the relevant points.
