Replying To WanPintWin: "I'd say last year's winners Cuala would have as many, if not more Irish speakers on their team than An Daingean. Sleacht Néill another club doing mighty work to promote the Irish language, outside of the recognised Gaeltacht.
Is áit álainn í An Daingean ach tá an Ghaeilge imithe i léig go mór thíos ann." Didn't they say they wanted to be called "Dingle" only?

Replying To Seanfan: "Didn't they say they wanted to be called "Dingle" only?" Úsáideann siad 'Dingle' mar gheall ar cursaí turasóireachta go príomha is docha.
Is mór an trua é ach thuigfinn é sinn.
Bhí mé thíos ansin cupla uair agus níor chuala mé aon comhrá gaeilge ach cupla uair. Sin ó dhaoine thar 40/50. Bearla ar fud na háite.
I bhfad níos láidre leis an gCumann an Ghealtacht (ní nach ionadh) agus áiteanna eile, Carna agus Leitir móir mar shampla.
Ach bhí mé an sásta nuair a riine said na hagallaimh agus óráidí as gaeilge.
Dá mbeadh sé as bearla, bhuel, sin tairne eile sa cónra.
Comhghairdeas leo. An bua ar fad.

Jack O Connor is complaing about (and blaming Kerrys inability to go back to back) the Kerry Club championships.
Because of how they structure it, it allows Kerrys 9th best club enter the intermediate provincial club championship and its 25th best club enter the provincial junior championship.
A scenario that means they are essentially allowing a senior club represent them in intermediate and an intermediate club into junior.
The result of which means that Kerrys champions at intermediate and senior, generally progress to All Ireland stages at least.
Add that to Dingle doing so well last year and Kerry have a problem with a number of player playing all year round.
Ignoring the fact that it was within Jacks gift to give those players 2 months off league duties and sacrifice league and provincial ambitions (as they mean nothing in the grand scheme of all ireland wins), the problem is a self inflicted one.
However, the senior club championship continues to impact the performance of the intercounty players whos club is successful in it. In the vast majority of cases (St Brigids, Dingle, Errigal Ciaran, Glen, Kilcoo, Cuala, Kilmacud Crokes) the intercounty players who play year round end up suffering a range of injury problems in the following seasons, struggling to impact the intercounty all ireland due to injuries (Tom O Sullivan, Paul Geaney, the Canavan brothers, Con O Callaghan, Shane Walsh etc).
It is noticeable, that despite having a highly paid S&C man in the county set up, every county team ends up with the same problem, no off sean for 2 years and persistant injury problems or lower performance levels for the county team.
Now that Mayo havr shown that winning the all ireland can be done by assembling a team in May and performing for only 2 months, perhaps these players who progress in All Ireland club championships can be given an off season in February and March, pre season in April and be introduced to intercounty football in May. Thus sparing them the slog of league and provincial championships, with proper consideration for their welfare.
Its a fairly obvious injury/performance trend, yet it continues every year regardless of the county
