The IRFU recently outlined a summary roadmap with guidelines on the return to rugby. The key appointment for clubs to get back to rugby is to appoint a Safety Officer.

In this regard, Old Wesley RFC are pleased to announce the appointment of Wayne Sheridan as the Old Wesley Covid-19 Safety Officer. Wayne will oversee the club’s Covid-19 Safety Committee with Michael Weafer as his assistant, Ronan Bools Risk Assessment Officer and a small committee of members with experience in this area. 

Wayne has many years of experience in the insurance industry and is a long serving member of Old Wesley and a Leinster Branch Referee. Wayne will be working closely with the IRFU on the implementation of the Return to Rugby Guidelines.

Wayne will have full responsibility and will oversee the entire return to rugby process for Donnybrook and Ballycorus and is currently completing our Health & Safety plan which includes Risk Assessment. Our primary concern is the safety of members, players, supporters and visitors, and our return to rugby will be guided by IRFU &and Government Return to Sport guidelines.
