We're six lads, I think six lads from each county.

our hotel room was booked.

So to do a university exam and then go that afternoon to play with our counties, it's absolutely bonkers.

You can play it.

Because suddenly we've decided with the split season, all right, we've got to shove all the county stuff in one six months, right?

That includes under-17, under-20 and senior.

We don't have to do that.

But...

Even worse, the women have to shove all their camogie and all their ladies' football in as well.

When do you play it, Pat?

You play... You take the months of June and July.

From the middle of June to the end of July...

When very, very few counties, very, very few counties are actually left in the All-Ireland Championship, you play it during the summer at that time, or else you play it just before the club championship starts.

But it needs a bit of imagination.

It needs a bit of thinking outside the box.

But don't tell me, don't tell me, isn't it great that we can put a lad playing a Munster final on a Sunday and he has to rock up the road?

as 120 miles to play an All-Ireland semi-final.

It's not a mission, Pat.

I'm saying that most of the counties are gone out of the Championship and that you formulate the Championship.

with the fixtures for those counties.
