There are GAA senior championship games in all four provinces this weekend.

A number of these are pilot events that the Government will trial from a feasibility perspective.

8000 spectators will be allowed to watch Saturday's Leinster senior hurling semi-final double header at Croke Park involving Dublin and Galway and Kilkenny and Wexford.

The Munster hurling semi-final between Cork and Limerick at Semple Stadium on Saturday evening will cater for 2400 fans, while the Connacht football semi-final between Roscommon and Galway at Doctor Hyde Park on Sunday will have just over one thousand fans in attendance.
