Great for the FAI, they can start claiming how great a state the league is in and that clubs have made a huge jump in combined profit this season over the league as a whole.

"Anyone have any idea how the payments to clubs who don't qualify for Europe might change?"
From todays UEFA statement:
Solidarity payments to clubs not qualified for UEFA club competitions
The solidarity payments to non-participating clubs via their national associations and/or leagues, formerly amounting to 6.5% of the UEFA Champions League clubs’ share, will now represent 5% of the overall gross revenues of the two competitions. A total of €112m will be distributed to national associations and/or leagues for their clubs, compared to €82.4m in the 2012-15 cycle, thus representing an increase of more than 35%. 80% of this amount will be distributed to national associations and/or leagues with at least one club participating in the UEFA Champions League group stage and 20% to national associations and/or leagues without participating clubs. Only clubs not participating in the group stage of either competition will be entitled to a share of these solidarity payments.
Furthermore, the distribution to national associations and/or leagues will no longer be exclusively based on their market value, but 60% of the available amounts will be distributed in equal shares amongst all national associations and/or leagues and only 40% will follow the market value. This will ensure a fairer distribution of solidarity amounts to European clubs.
Will have to wait and see how much it goes up by though. The overall figures obviously show a significant rise, but how it will be shared out in Ireland won't be clear until the time comes. Galway United don't get any of it, but I was just curious.
How does a club become a beneficiary? What LOI clubs benefitted last year and by how much? Is there a sticky finger at the FAI level?
Looks like we picked a bad year to give up qualifying for Europe
What I understand is that all clubs benefit in some way, except Galway FC, but I don't have any specifics.
Something to do with clubs' underage structures I believe.

Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
It'd be great craic if Salthill and Mervue were getting Galway's share. So I hope it's true.
Funny you should mention it...
Never in doubt
Do UCD still have a chance of getting into the Europa qualifiers do anyone know? Haven't heard anything about it in ages.
Yeah I'd heard that before re Salthill and Mervue. Nice little consolation for them.

Next update is April 30th. Won't know until then. Nowhere tracks it
Party saint..."Over 1 million in prize money alone for getting through 2 rounds. Huge money for a LOI club"
How does over €1 million arise?
If an Irish club got through two rounds of the Europa League qualifiers it would likely top €1m. If Dundalk were to get through in July, it might approach or match that. Rainman above can probably give more specifics.
If St. Pats, Cork City, Shamrock Rovers or UCD were to get through two rounds of the Europa League we would receive €630,000.
If Dundalk win their first tie and lose the rest they'll get the following
CL Rd 2 - €300k
CL Rd 3 - €400k
EL Play off - €230k
Payment for not reaching CL groups - €250k
So lose first tie get €550k
win first tie get € 1.18 million
54,321 sold - wws will never die - ***

New blog if anyone's interested - http://loihistory.wordpress.com/
LOI section on balls.ie - http://balls.ie/league-of-ireland/
Might even be able to pay for a new pitch.
Sorry, couldn't resist.

So, does this mean that a team that advances to CL3 and loses, then moves to the EL Play-offs.
