Given that Kerry are at U19 level, Kerry do appear to be next in line. As mentioned in another thread, there is potentially an opportunity for Kerry to take the vacant spot in the First Division.
Cavan/Monaghan FC, Klub Kildare FC and Carlow Kilkenny FC at U17 level would probably be next in line for an Intermediary League, in a few years.
Regards third level institutions, Kerry in partnership with Munster Technological University - Tralee and Kildare having a partnership with Maynooth University might be the best approach for both.
