Our problem I suppose, is that there is about a 5-8 year lag between getting the pathways & academy right, and knowing we are getting them right. There are good reports coming out of the work being done now and over the past couple of years (to which we haven't had any visibility of looking at the fir st and 2nd teams), and some green shoots are evident now in the younger ones coming through.

I agree, I actually think we are a couple of years into that, so hopefully more like a 2-3 year lag. Our representation on Irish age grade teams was certainly higher last year, hopefully a good augur

Stop yourself clown, changing your tune when folk correct you is one thing, trying to pretend that was what you thought all along, when you said something very different gets you a pair of clownshoes, I'll send you a pair but I'm not paying the postage.
