St Patrick's Athletic Temporarily Lays Off Playing And Coaching Staff

The Dublin club say they have had almost no income since their last home match.

St Patrick's Athletic have temporarily laid off all of their playing and coaching staff.

They are the third Premier Division club to take such a measure after Sligo Rovers and Cork City.

The Dublin club say they have had almost no income since their last home match at the beginning of March while there will be no fixtures until Autumn due to the governments decision not to allow gatherings of five thousand or more.

The National League Executive Committee which represents all Premier and First Division clubs began a meeting in the last half hour as they seek further clarity on the government's restrictions.
