Stephen Kenny has bemoaned the League of Ireland Premier Division’s changing complexion, lamenting the absence of Munster teams in the 2022 top-flight.

Waterford replicated Cork City’s unwanted feat of the previous year by getting relegated last month, while Dublin clubs Shelbourne and UCD got promoted to the 10-team division.
