Ireland placed on Level 5 of Plan for Living with Covid-19
From midnight on Wednesday 21 October all counties in the Republic of Ireland will be placed on Level 5 of the Plan for Living with Covid-19. Level 5 restrictions are the highest level available to government and will remain in place for a period of 6 weeks.
They key restriction affecting country sports is the requirement for people to remain within a radius of 5 km of their home with the exception of essential work and essential purposes only (see link below). There will be a penalty for infringing the 5 km rule.
National Parks & Wildlife Service have stated that they do not believe that deer hunting can be classed to be an essential service under the new regulations and advice we have received from An Garda Siochana is simply that members should respect the 5 km requirement whilst engaged in all other country sports.
The situation is of course rapidly evolving and we will update members as we get more details but for the meantime we advise members to restrict their activities within 5 km of their home from midnight tomorrow night.
Stay safe!

NI Covid-19 Regulations UPDATE
The NI Executive has introduced new Covid-19 regulations effective from Friday 16th October 2020 for a period of 4 weeks.
The rules affecting country sports haven't changed significantly. Members may continue to participate in outdoor country sports in groups of less than 15 people.
Guidance accompanying the regulations also advises against unnecessary travel but provides no details at all on what is considered unnecessary travel so individuals may make their own decision on this. We have requested clarification on the unnecessary travel advice from the NI Executive and will update everyone if further guidance is received.
Full details of current NI regulations are available using the link:
