"The problem is we're taking the best players from Ireland, and that's going to affect the game [there] in the future. That doesn't sit too pretty with me. The last thing I want to do is to see the GAA [Gaelic Athletic Association], or the game itself, suffer.

Talk about having your cake and eating it too. I'm a big fan of Tadgh but seriously....

"It's not a flood of players. A flood of players are going to England to play soccer, a flood of players are playing rugby union, that's a flood.

So why is he carrying on,when clearly he thinks we are a minor problem compared to the EPL.
If he thinks its so bad then bugger off back home,i for one will be sorry to see you go.If its such an issue then why doesnt the Gaelic FA make the sport professional then it would stem the tied IMO.

I think he's suggesting that it's not a problem at present , but if the level of Irish recruitment continues to increase then it may be in a few years time.
