The Third Tier idea should contain the best Junior clubs in the country, just take a look at the current FAI Junior Cup teams and you could choose a varied selection. Dublin have top teams like Crumlin or Sherriff, Limerick have several candidates like Pike Rovers and Fairview Rangers while many others such as Carrick Utd, St. Michaels, Westport United, and many more well run clubs to many to list here. If the FAI gave them assurances that promtion was not a priority and only necessary if the club were prepared for it.
I think there could be a good structure there for these clubs to explore. I don't think any current clubs especially the First Division clubs would fancy being relegated to a third division made up of these established junior clubs. It may also serve as an incentive for many of the progressive clubs around the conuntry.
