Mr. Donal Smyth:

I am a former inter-county player. Four or five years ago, we actively recruited through the players. Very few players get involved. It is strange. They say, "Look, I would not go near that if you paid me" and everything else. We are struggling there. Again, it is about constant recruitment. Every referee is trying to recruit fellows and trying to bring people with them. I try to identify people in clubs when I am refereeing games in order to bring them in. It is a struggle to get former players involved.
