Mayo GAA say they won't be collecting levy payments from their clubs for the months of March and April due to the coronavirus outbreak. 

Clubs in the county pay €7,000 each per year to help service the debt incurred by the development of Castlebar's McHale Park, which included a loan from the GAA.

"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,” Mayo County Board announced in a statement today.

"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 and clubs will be updated accordingly."

The statement went on: "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."
