I know what you're saying and you're certainly right about the amount of senior clubs. It is madness, especially as most of them would be Intermediate standard at a push.
Truth be told, outside of Portlaoise, NO club has enough players at their disposal. Port have potential, as do Graigue, but they invariably flatter to deceive. With the way Portlaoise are doing things (not entering teams at lower levels) it's hard to see how they can improve, but maybe they don't need to because nobody else is doing anything. The lack of ambition is sometimes the biggest enemy. Nobody wants to lower Portlaoise's sails, but a bit of competition wouldn't go astray.
