And I think the people who appointed him breathed a big sigh of relief when the Fianna went on and won in All-Ireland because all of a sudden he looked like a very obvious candidate.
His entire backroom other than Nigel O'Hara, who's from Kilkenny, the coach who was involved in Kildare before, are dubs as well.
You've David Curtin and Donald McGovern from Kilkenny.
So it is a very...
Dublin sort of hurling team but look I suppose the conversation about Dublin hurling tends to be quite vague you know people talk about Dublin hurling is this a good day for Dublin hurling and sometimes you just have to separate the wider entity of Dublin hurling from the Dublin senior hurling team Dublin hurling goes on it exists they produce good underage teams there's high participation rates it's strong in areas that it didn't used to be strong they produce strong clubs teams and
But the Dublin senior hurling team has been underperforming for a long period of time.
The two, they are in some ways connected, but they're also independent entities.
And there is enough hurling going on in Dublin and there's enough talent that Dublin should have been at a much higher level than they have been for the last 13 years.
but Neil O'Callaghan like he's obviously somebody who's there for the right reasons he's obviously somebody who understands the kind of nuances of management because whatever Neil says there was a huge day yesterday for Dublin there's a huge symbolism to beating Kilkenny it's massive it doesn't happen very often and I had to enjoy it but it wasn't long before he was getting his head around the next day which is what you have to do

Obviously, the Leinster final as an occasion has been a bit of a damp squib over the years and it hasn't been helped.
by poor games but Dublin and Galway they seem to be pretty well matched I just I can't and this could be famous last words I can't see a blowout there one way or the other and I think the more people you get into Crow Park albeit for a Saturday evening game that won't suit people travelling from Galway at all could make that a much better occasion than a lot of the recent Leinster finals I think a Leinster final Conor without Kilkenny will bring something to it I think I just think without Kilkenny a Leinster final there's a
