Basically both correct.  Measures weren't taken quick enough, the virus was in Northern Italy for a long time before it was detected and I think Italy has a large percentage of elderly people in it's population.  This means the healthcare service is on it's knees as it is unable to cope with the sheer volume of people needing Intensive Care (on top of what would already be a challenging time of year). 
Italy have a superior healthcare system to here.  In fact at any one time 95% of NI ICU beds are occupied.  So you can imagine that it wouldn't take too much to tip our system over the edge.  Hence the call to take stricter precautions now in the hope to delay the peak of the epidemic to the summer when hopefully the healthcare system can handle it better.

Bredagh run cultural events all the time, Irish language, music events, community events, quiz, etc, etc. There's a night coming up with a talk from Linda Ervine for example.
Fairly sure our neighbours are the same.

Plenty of lads busting to get out after 3 months off.  Ok some preseasons are a bit extreme but there's plenty happy to get out and back with their clubs.

If Championship is to be played in April surely better to have rd1/2 done so that from late august on it's knockout only?  Real championship matches.
If you're gone by April, finish out the league season and head off on holidays or whatever you wanna do.
If you're still in the mix then time to knuckle down coming into the summer months.

So as far as I can see Divisional winners 2019:
North Kerry: St Senans
East Kerry: Legion
South Kerry: Dromid
West Kerry: Dingle
Mid Kerry: Milltown/Castlemaine

Are there divisional championships for Tralee, Kenmare and St Brendan's Districts?

So Austin Stacks now enter the Munster club because Dr Crokes lost to East Kerry at the weekend... utter toilet.
The gerrymandering of grades resulting in dominance of Intermediate and Junior club grades is tragic too.
Bit of a flat track bully vibe going on down there, a bunch of piss artists when its put up to them at all levels.

It is designed to make football in the county as competitive as it possibly can be.  The County Championship is especially competitive.  Winning provincial/all-Ireland intermediates and juniors is way down the order of priorities.  It may put them at a significant advantage but this is a bi-product not the aim of the system.
As already discussed, Dublin having a Senior A and Senior B championship greatly disadvantages the intermediate and junior teams that progress to provincials.  Although this system is different from Kerry the purpose is to make the county's championships competitive.  Intermediate and junior provincial success is not a priority.

That's what I take from it anyway.  I think the system is excellent.  There's David Clifford who plays for Fossa in intermediate (possibly junior?)championship has now won the major championship with East Kerry thanks to this divisional system.  Whilst he is obviously a stand out player it does give other decent players who play with their clubs at lower standards a shout at getting into and winning 'the main event'.

Great answers thanks!

The amount of games in Kerry seems to be very good.  The training to game ratio must be nice with so many competitions. 

A final question - How many of these competitions would County players be involved in?
At a guess i'm thinking minimal involvement in the leagues, available for club, county and divisional championships?

Edit: It would appear that all the championships have a different order of importance but all carry prestige and are taken seriously?

My ranking of the importance of Kerry's competitions to players:

1) County Championship
2) Club championships, senior, intermediate, premier junior, junior, novice
3) divisional championships
4) county league
5) divisional league

My opinion is all...some might switch 2 and 3.

More questions:
Are the divisional championships played between club teams in that Divisional area as oppose to between divisional sides?

Do club senior teams play in all these championships? Is there separate reserve teams or what?

Is there a divisional teams only competition?

Finally, is there a reason the County Championship is played this time of year? Weather being shite and all that.
