As for the 4 clubs, I`ll assume this is the euro regulars, did summer 2016 not increase the profile of the league enough for you? even one of your former players mentioned Dundalk in EL after a PL game that year, Seamus Coleman.
Also before this Rovers making the EL group in 2011 was another big feat, and to be fair on Cork, they also played in 3 rounds, as McNulty roared out in his superb cup final celebration speech in 2016!
Of course I get it when other clubs say euro teams make big cash out of it, so even more incentive for others to try and get that lucrative 4th spot, it can be done also, DFC started with very little but a manager to re-prove himself and mostly cast offs in 2013 and came second to qualify for Europe. Bohs got back to Europe (hopefully) this season after a fair old absence.
