Good Afternoon All,

Normally by this time of year we would have concluded our Leinster T&F season unfortunately this year this is not the case.

The Leinster Executive meet during the week to see how we should proceed.

It was decieded to have compeition for U17s to Masters over 3 days in August.

Provisionally Dates:

Saturday the 1st of August - U17s to U19s Championship - U17-U19 Guests are welcome.

Saturday / Sunday the 8th / 9th of August - Junior, Senior & Masters Championship - Junior, Senior & Master Guests are welcome.

 

We will have more details to share over the coming weeks regards this years Outdoors.

Competitions are subject to government restrictions being eased and will have additional measures in place to ensure that the competitions are safe for all athletes, officials and spectators.

Tuesday 24th March

 

Following the latest announcement from our Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar earlier this evening that from midnight tonight All organised indoor and outdoor events of any size are not to take place.

 

The effect of this government decision means that no Athletics Ireland Provinces, County Boards, Clubs or affiliates can operate in any capacity. As such no insurance covers of Athletics Ireland for Provinces, County Boards, Clubs and individuals are operational during this period.

 

We stress the importance of all our members following this expert advice and hope you all stay safe in these difficult times.

 

For clarification;
The AAI personal accident covers any registered member who is injured as a result of an accident at an official club event or during official club training. This policy does not cover individuals training at their own discretion.

The government directive has now shut down all club activity hence the withdrawal of our club personal accident cover.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 threat the ISAA Executive are now in a position to confirm the cancellation of all scheduled Track & Field Events at zone/district, provincial including the distinguished Irish Life Health ALL Ireland Schools Track & Field Championships fixed for Saturday, 30th May 2020 in Tullamore Harriers. Leinster Schools Championships were due to be on the 13th & 16th May 2020 in Morton Staidum Santry.

These decisions have not been taken lightly but reflect the concerns of all at ISAA and Athletics Ireland around the health and safety of pupils, teachers, parents and Officials. Everyone associated with Irish Schools Athletics in Ireland are asked to continue to follow the restrictions in place around travel and social contact for as long as it takes. PLEASE STAY SAFE!!

- On Behalf of the President of the Irish Schools Athletic Association, Mr. Billy Delaney

Dear Provincial/County Secretaries,

 

Thursday, March 12th, 2020 at 12.30pm

 

Statement from Athletics Ireland regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19).

 

Athletics Ireland continues to closely monitor the coronavirus outbreak and the advice from the National Public Health Emergency Team and the HSE. The health and safety of the Athletics community is our priority and we are determined to be calm, calculated and proactive regarding precautions to limit the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).

 

As announced by An Taoiseach this morning the following measures will come into effect from tomorrow morning until the 29th March, 2020.

 

  • schools, colleges and childcare facilities will close from tomorrow (Friday)
  • Indoor mass gatherings of 100 people or more and outdoor mass gatherings of more than 500 people should be cancelled

 

Where it is possible to work remotely people should do so. Public transport will continue and shops will continue to remain open. Mr Varadkar said we need the public and businesses to take a sensible approach.

 

Athletics Ireland is guided by this expert HSE advice and we will physically close our office from tomorrow morning but all staff will be operating our business from their homes. We are prepared to operate telephones and emails remotely to minimise disruption to our business.

 

Athletics Ireland is therefore instructing all affiliates to suspend all athletic competitions and events with immediate effect. We understand that this decision will result in inconvenience and disappointment to many athletes, coaches, officials, volunteers and supporters. However, we are sure that all will understand that this decision is taken in the best interests, not just of the athletics community, but of the Country.

 

Club training is down to the discretion of the individual club, but the recommendation from Athletics Ireland is that club training sessions be cancelled at this time.

 

The situation is changing rapidly and we will continue to monitor developments and update our website and communication on a daily basis.

Congratulations to the following athletes who have been selected to compete at the CSIT Games in Tortosa, Spain from 2-7 July:

Leo Morgan -  Clonliffe Harriers
