Pat Ryan fully understands why there are time constraints attached to the inter-county season but would prefer a few more weeks.

Starting on April 21, the Cork manager agreed the Munster senior hurling championship is too early, would like additional space between matches and thinks a three-week gap between the Division 1 final and the start of the provincial SHC would be enough.
