If the right people are at the top anything is possible but with clowns in charge all your have is a circus
I think the work was done before MD cam in. He just added to it.
They are a small county, but are in a good location in the midlands. For both football and especially hurling.
That's a huge help.
They had to buy their stationery in Sligo their reputation for paying people was that bad pre Duignan
Duignan and the people with him the likes of Carina Carroll Dervil Dolan and Keith Screeney and 50/60 more are all top notch professionals
Quality attracts Quality and also gives People comfort in the knowledge their money will be well spent if it's committed
