Easy for a team to be dominant in football if you all but ignore hurling

First off, congratulations on your fine sports coverage in the Irish Examiner, even though we think at times there is far too much coverage of English soccer.

I enjoy reading the contributions by your various columnists, but must take exception to comments made by Paddy Heaney in his GAA column on Thursday, February 26.

Paddy maintains that the Kingdom’s superiority in Gaelic football is due to, 1, they play more football than anyone else and, 2, they develop more county players from junior and intermediate teams than anyone else. He also states that Kerry is the only county in Ireland that operates a divisional system. Not true.
