The Taoiseach said last night that the All-Ireland Championships will give people something to look forward to.
As the country prepares to enter level-5 restrictions from midnight on Wednesday night, elite sport will continue.
That will be welcome news to Waterford hurling fans, who can now look forward to an Under 20 semi-final on Bank Holiday Monday.
It emerged last night that Waterford's opponents will be Tipperary after the All-Ireland champions beat Clare in Semple Stadium.
Having looked to be in a spot of bother at half time when behind by 10 points to 6, Tipperary surged past Claire in the second half to finish with 1 goal and 19 points to Claire's 12 points.

The Premier county will now be on the road to Fraher Field for their meeting with Waterford at 3.15 on Monday and WLR will bring you that game live with commentary by Kieran O'Connor and Derek McGrath, thanks to George Corbett Skoda.
The other semi-final will see Cork versus Limerick next Monday night after their 14 point win over Kerry at Austin Stack park.
