"It’s a tough one but it is what it is and we’re going to have to face into it. A knee-jerk reaction is the proper phrase for it."It’s going to generate more revenue, there’s no doubt about it.

Clearly there’s a strong majority of over 60 per cent in favour of change in both football and hurling and that’s a good starting point.”
