My kids have played with Alia on Inch Island.

That's good.

They've played in Derry.

They've played in Dundalk.

for Key Celtic and Rock Celtic and Dundalk so you know we've played in different parts obviously managed clubs in Dublin and in Longford so I've a good feeling of Scuba clubs throughout the country yeah listen

just don't have the climate that you can play in in the winter and we just don't have the climate that gets any sort of quality we don't have the facilities to accommodate that so it it's only right that it would be from uh you know from through the summer months i know the two aspects are obviously always classes with the ga and if you're from

My kids played for Burt in Inishowen and played for Alia at that time.

So you're Ferdinand children from one to the other.

My wife mainly was Siobhan because I was obviously

you know, busy with Dundalk at the time, but I think the, so it's, I do understand that and I do think that you will lose players and so forth.

People in rural areas, I wouldn't say it's an urban-rural thing because the DDSL were,

They weren't in favour of it either last year, is that right?

So it's complex.

I know you can't say it's one size fits all either, but I think it is a complex situation because obviously summer holidays is a factor, but people are entitled to their summer holidays, but they can do that.

Young kids can go into summer holidays and come back and play at different times.

I'm sure that can all be agreed.

Yeah, I mean...

At the professional level, you know, you struggle to get... You know, for example, all the pitches might be off this weekend.

We're scrapping around really saying, well, if our friendly in Richmond with two games the weekend, if they're off, where are we playing them?

And, you know, it's not easy to get venues, you know.
