I am not asking about the debate on efficiencies. I am asking about intercounty managers who are driving a game towards professionalism by trying to get to what they see as X level. They are increasing the number of training sessions.

I accept Mr. Parsons's point. You could stand still and costs will still go up. Maybe that should be called out. Equally, if he is calling for the elimination of the pre-season tournaments and if the uachtarán is talking about the need to bring things back, even if those intercounty tournaments are got rid of, they are still playing closed-door games anyway. They are still doing it. Should the GPA be calling out what the managers are doing with their own players? Mr. Parsons made his comments in the case of player welfare. Should he be calling out the managers and whether they have concern for player welfare?
