There are three straightforward, interrelated questions to be asked about the proposed establishment by the GAA of a B All-Ireland Championship for inter-county Gaelic football:1. It may very well be that an All-Ireland B Football Championship is the right decision – but the case for it has not been properly made. In this instance, John Horan was absolutely clear that his basic ambition is to get a two-tier system accepted, come what may. The last time we came in with a big fixture plan, Tier Two was in the middle of it and it just fell out the back door. To commit to creating an All-Ireland B Football Championship without a proper rounded plan for the entirety of Gaelic football is absurd.
