I am just wondering because most of the players are from dublin.

Very few players go right through the international set up from schoolboys to the senior squad.yes politics are involved but the politics favours the players outside dublin generally.ndsl kicked up last year that is true.but i dont think people should get too hung up about schoolboy international set up.surely you want to be in these squads at 18-20 yrs where you are nearer to knocking on the door.i cant help feeling sometimes that some parents and kids would be more happy for the opportunity now - and to fail, and come home and be the big i am, rather than be patient at home with their club,emerging talent, etc and the prospect of signing for a domestic league club which may be a better way of getting a pro contract.Patience, hard work,dedication is key.Generally we dont produce 'outstanding' players in Ireland lets be honest.But we do produce very good competitive players who can go on to make a name for themselves.
