• Funerals the regulation ‘10 or less’ applies to the cemetery as well. Burial follows immediately on the Mass. All HSE guidelines are to be observed, no shaking hands, social distancing etc.Simple Mass, none of the usual family participation. No distribution of Communion as it involves each host being touched. No Funeral Pall as it would involve a lot of touching.

• At this difficult time, it is good to remember that the whole Church of Christ is present in every Diocese and that each time Mass is celebrated or the Divine Office prayed, it is done in union with and on behalf of the whole diocese.
THE LATE MOSS SPILLANE
It is with great sadness to hear of the passing of Maurice (Moss) Spillane, Balloonagh Estate and formerly Scartaglin. Moss was a constant figure at Austin Stacks Park,Tralee and his welcoming smile was ever present. On big match days/ trainings it was always a pleasure to speak with Moss who by the way always remembered everybody. His relaxed nature and kindness had a calming effect with teams. Moss along with his fellow grounds men maintain Austin Stack and Caherslee pitches to the highest standard and both were always available and in perfect condition to county and clubs teams when needed. A true GAA man and gentleman who presents will be sadly missed and I have no doubt his name will be spoken of fondly for many years to come. The Crotta Hurling club would like to extend our sympathies to his wife Mary, his daughters Michelle, Tracey, Deirdre and Ashling, his relatives,friends and GAA colleagues. Ar dheis De go raibh a anam.

GAA UPDATE
The GAA has confirmed that no official on-field activity will resume before July 20 and our facilities will remain closed until that date and will issue detailed advice before any return to play, outlining the steps needed to take to facilitate the re-commencement of our training and games, both in terms of physical engagement and around the use of our facilities.
The GAA Player Injury Scheme will remain closed until an official return to activity is confirmed.
Clubs are reminded that membership and public liability will need to be in place for the return of our activities and are advised to process same in the weeks ahead.
On the Sunday Game on 9th May, GAA President John Horan stated that there will be no return to club or inter county activities as long as social distancing stays in place. Contact sports like football and hurling would not be safe for our players.
He also stated that meeting up at club grounds in groups of four to train is not feasible at this point in time even though it is on the government overview of re-opening phases. We can take it from this that there will be no re-opening of club grounds or a return to training for our players for the foreseeable future.
