‘A la carte’ GAA counties neglect duty of care

Earlier this week, in these pages, Paddy Heaney wrote about the Kerry football conveyor belt of talent — the headline, ‘Kingdom’s unique structure keeps them well ahead’, conveys the general spirit of the piece.

Well, as Samuel L Jackson said in Pulp Fiction, allow me to retort.

Paddy is a friend of mine but I have to take issue with what a tabloid might term a glaring hole in his argument about Kerry’s ability to produce quality footballers, one that applies to many counties in his northern orbit as well.
