How Do We Improve Meath Inter County Hurling?

Replying To Stiofan:  "Football and Hurling Development Squads share equal resource. No difference!"
Out of curiosity what is the difference in resources provided for underage football and hurling development squads in Meath?.
Is it lack of access to facilities in Dunganny?.

Potentially there is bound to be a decent cross over of underage players that could play in both development squads, can players play in both squads the whole way up?.
If they can play in both squads is it set up to make it practical for them to do both (session times etc.?).

What got me thinking about this was talking to a Tipperary man at work who said the Tipperary minor footballers who won the All Ireland in 2011 contained 8 inter county minor hurlers and how people down there had different opinions about underage dual inter county players.
