By Liam MackeyIreland captain Seamus Coleman believes that Cork City and Dundalk would be good enough to compete at Championship level in England and insists that the League of Ireland does not get the credit it deserves for producing players and teams of high quality. “I know there are some teams in the League of Ireland who are better than others so it’s hard to compare but Cork City now or the year Dundalk were in the Europa League, you’re talking Championship-level teams. “You saw how well they did in the Europa League and nearly the Champions League.
