In response to the swine flu pandemic, the GAA has put special protocols and procedures in place at Croke Park.
The move follows the death of two people in Ireland and thousands more worldwide from the flu virus.
Speaking to the Irish Examiner, Croke Park stadium director Peter McKenna said: 'The stadium has taken the necessary precautions ahead of the GAA season's busy climax. We have been in consultation with the HSE for the last number of months.
'We have installed special anti-bacterial hand washes in all of the bathrooms in the stadium. These are the same as the ones you would find in hospitals nationwide.
'We have also HSE posters all over the building containing advice on the dos and don'ts in relation to dealing with swine flu. There is no play book on this, we just have to use best practice.'
Some GAA followers may have concerns about being in Croke Park on big match days due to the contagious nature of the flu.
However, McKenna pointed out large gatherings of people are continuing in every facet of life.
He continued: 'We cannot shut the country down. People will still find themselves in large gatherings even if they don't go to matches. Buses and trains will continue to run. People will still go to mass and go to work. The key is for people to take the proper precautions.
'We also have contingencies on our own team - if one our two of our staff become sick we have people on standby to replace them; many big companies have such staff substitution programmes.'
