Dessie Farrell says the GAA don’t need to be reminded that the provincial championships’ status in the All-Ireland SFC requires a review.

Farrell has previously called for the competitions to be disbanded. Described by Mickey Harte as "a battering", this 21-point final win over Louth brought the average winning margin in this year’s Connacht, Leinster and Munster deciders to over 16 points.
