All this talk about a Third Tier seems to be a non-starter. Just look at the Ulster Senior League, hopeful of getting up and running again IN 2022/23 with a 7 team league structure. Monaghan United FC have just been announced along with four teams from Donegal, Bonagee United, Cockhill Celtic, Letterkenny Rovers and Finn Harps reserves and Derry City reserves in this USL.

If clubs like this are prepared to join this league now, what hope is there for the FAI in attracting new clubs to participate in a third tier of a National League structure?
