Dublin footballer James McCarthy has admitted that playing their championship opener against Westmeath at a neutral venue “doesn't make much sense”.

The Leinster Council on Thursday confirmed the venues for the upcoming championship with MW Hire O’Moore Park hosting the 10-in-a-row chasing Dubs’ clash with the Lake County.
