What system?
The system (in Dublin and its environs) is that most talented kids play for the likes of Cherry Orchard, Belvedere, St Kevins etc. where they hope to be spotted by scouts for English clubs. This is changing to an extent, with the league clubs developing good underage set-ups, the league offering the opportunity to lpay full-time ,and at the same time English clubs are being much more selective about who they bring over (hopefully we've left behind the days of hundreds heading over at 15 with only a tiny fraction making it)
