Ms Deirdre Duke:

From a player perspective, the all-Ireland aspect is not something that really crosses our minds too much. We are delighted to be an all-Ireland team. It does not matter what part of the country someone is from - Munster, Leinster or Ulster. It is certainly not something we have spoken about as a team or something we think about too much. Regarding the opportunities it could open up, again, it is not something that has occurred to us as players. We usually concentrate on getting our training sessions in so, again, I do not really know how I can comment on that.
