The Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport has provided the following information:

‘People should not travel outside the 5 km limit to access facilities such as golf or tennis clubs. It should also be understood that going to facilities in advance of the 18th of May to prepare for reopening is not considered to be within the spirit of the Roadmap.

In relation to the cocooning population, the advice currently is that they may leave their houses for exercise, but they should avoid contact with other people, even on a socially distanced basis. This advice does not recommend over 70’s playing golf or tennis, however, it is not mandatory, it is advisory, so individuals can make their own decisions.

While additional detail on restrictions from May 18th may follow in due course, the present advice is that they should not take part in sport with other people’
