The A Championship is being abolished, so no promotion/relegation play-off this year, all four non-League clubs can apply for First Division licences. No-one knows what rules the Licencing Committee will apply, beyond a vague report that only two will be choosen, so all four could be elected, or alternatively, they could all be shunted down to junior football. If the FAI are serious about promoting the game in the regions, the clubs will be given time, like Mervue, to meet the criteria, but either way, they'll all be in the dark until February.
