But I think the key thing is, and now that the GAA have opened talks online,
with the AFL, the ladies football have to jump on board with this.
This should be a two-pronged approach by the GAA and the ladies football to enter into negotiations.
Do I think that paying players here is the solution?
To be honest, I don't.
Because at the end of the day, yes, they're getting to live as professional players, but from talking to some of the players themselves,
A lot of the attraction is the lifestyle and the adventure of it all.
They're not all wanting to go over there and maybe uproot their lives and stay in Australia for the rest of their life.
And that's it exactly.
So maybe the answer is in, right, they talked about limiting the number of players.
Could there be a case that you create from those who've been talking about it recently, maybe one Irish club over there and the players who are going over can only go and play with that one Irish club and that reduces maybe the amount that are going over.
Because Pat, I mentioned that there's 46 on the books this year.
There was 39 last year.
In 2022, there is 19.
So there's only going to be more and more by the looks of it going over.
So if there was one single Irish club that they were all going over to, I don't think you're ever going to stop people going.
But maybe if there is a limitation on those that are leaving.
And the other thing is, three years ago, it came in that there was an increase in pay for the players.
Obviously, that's more attractive.
But part of that was that there was 12 month contracts.
