No word yet on what dates the break will cover?
Looking because trying to get flights back from the Euros sorted. Week of Friday 8th & 15th June, maybe?

Perhaps time to give this thread a bump - will there still be three Galway clubs in the First Division and are we any the wiser as to how many teams will be involved altogether? Can Bohs really secure a Premier Division licence and will there be the usual uncertainty about fixtures until February?
When will we know what teams have been given licenses?
It's going to be a long wait:
Date Action 31st August FAI delivers Application Pack to League of Ireland clubs. 1st September League of Ireland clubs begin to complete Club Licence Application (club self-assessment). 30th November FAI Submission Date — Deadline for League of Ireland clubs to submit completed Licence Application to FAI Licensing Manager (see below for extended deadline for Financial Information). November – February 21st December FAI Club Auditors verify Licence Applications. FAI Club Licensing Department meets and/or visits clubs as necessary. Submission Date for final salary cost protocol declaration for the 2011 season 30th January Extended Deadline for League of Ireland clubs to submit financial documentation if not already received by submission date. February FAI Club Licensing Committee makes first instance decision for awarding of League Licences.League of Ireland clubs not granted a League Licence in first instance submit an appeal. March Start of League of Ireland Season (TBC) 15th April Deadline for application for Extraordinary Admission to UEFA Club Competitions (see Section 1.7). 31st May FAI informs UEFA as to which clubs have been granted a licence.
So who is in real danger of not getting a licence then?
Limerick.
I'd assume it's cos they want to move ASAP to Market's Field and if the current setup was granted a Premier license then the club might rest on its laurels and put MF on the backburner?
Because one id hate to get up like that i want to have the nights of celebration after going up not read it on some website that we have got up from off the field stuff.
And the fact that the Markets Field wouldnt be ready so we would have to play our games in Thomond Park til it was and that would be a joke.
You can have a premier license and play in the first division.
You wn't be in the premier division next year either way
