Pat Spillane believes that Dublin have turned a corner following their opening round victory over Galway while Declan Lee has written about this issues around the split season and GAA calendar when it comes to showcasing the inter-county game.
On the Indo GAA podcast, Pat Spillane and Dick Clerkin join Michael Verney to run the rule over the last round of All-Ireland series action, where Donegal's shooting let them down against Tyrone as Monaghan defeated the Leinster champions. The lads also wish Kevin McStay well after he has stepped aside from Mayo management.
Meanwhile, Eddie Brennan is on hand after the end of the hurling round-robin, where Davy Fitzgerald's future, Joe McDonagh drama and Clare's last hurrah (for this year anyway) are on the chopping block.

John Kiely has fixed last year's critical error while Cork's old weakness has returned & been ‘a disaster'
LIMERICK are at the gates of seventh heaven — and Cian Lynch is the man who holds the key. If this year's Championship has taught us anything, it is 3 Tipperary legend Michael 'Babs' Keating writes for SunSport 3 John Kiely was right to make Cian Lynch captain for this year So much of what is good about Limerick goes through Lynch. He possesses all the skills that we have ever seen from any hurler, plus a few unseen ones too. Whoever Cork task with shackling the two-time Hurler of the Year, he cannot afford to play the Patrickswell man from behind. His skill level is too high to be disrupted by that kind of challenge. Read More On GAA Above all else, unstinting concentration for 70-plus minutes is required to limit his impact because Lynch only needs a split-second to land a fatal blow. Cork have been left with a monumental task in trying to close the 16-point gap that The reality for Pat Ryan is their style has not evolved enough and they have not been able to cope with the aggression the likes of Limerick can bring on the biggest days. While Cork had their number twice last year, John Kiely must take some of the blame for that. Most read in GAA Hurling That especially goes for the All-Ireland semi-final, when he persisted with Declan Hannon at centre-back for far too long. That was something he would certainly have had regrets over. Tipperary GAA star 'had to do live apology on RTE' the day after cursing during All-Ireland interview - Having said that, even the greatest managers can be guilty of mistakes and Kiely has made more than his fair share of good decisions over the years. Hindsight makes experts of us all. On current form, there are question marks over every member of the Cork forward line. The only doubt about the Limerick attack relates to how Aidan O'Connor will Going into the attack as a new recruit in a Munster final will be a big ask. O'Connor has been named at full-forward, which is somewhat surprising, though Kiely is sure to have ideas on how to shuffle his deck come throw-in. Predicting the Limerick manager's next move has never been easy. Regular readers of this column will know that I did not hold back in my criticism of Patrick Collins when he took over from Anthony Nash in goal for Cork. To his credit, the Ballinhassig man was one of the stars of their run to last year's All-Ireland final. 3 Patrick Collins' puck-outs have been shaky this year However, Collins appears to have returned to his worst habits. His puckouts have been a disaster. At times, the communication and understanding between Cork's goalkeeper and forwards seem to be non-existent. When I played in the half-forward line for Tipperary, I always knew where John O'Donoghue was going to puck the ball. So too did Larry Kiely, Mick Roche and Theo English in the middle of the field. This idea of exchanging a one-two with Séan O'Donoghue and then sending the ball up the field drives me spare. A goalkeeper should know at underage level that forwards want quick deliveries. When a back has time to settle and size up a situation, he will win the ball 80 per cent of the time. The Cork half-forward line must curtail the influence of Diarmaid Byrnes, Kyle Hayes and Barry Nash. Even if you have to hit him with your a***, you do whatever you can to stop your opponent from gaining possession. If the Limerick half-back line — and their midfield too, for that matter — are given free rein again, Cork may as well stay at home. The Munster champions are perfectly placed here. Aside from the strength of their starting XV, they have subs for every situation. Their bench boasts five All-Stars. WIDER OUTLOOK A defeat this evening will not be the worst thing in the world for Cork as long as there are lessons learned in the event that the teams meet again. With the crowd and the hype and everything else that accompanies it, Croke Park can bring a different dynamic to any match-up. Should the Liam MacCarthy Cup reside on the banks of the Lee by the end of July, you will hear very few Cork fans lamenting a provincial final defeat. If their team's performance hits the 80 per cent mark, they will be happy enough coming back through Charleville tonight. Nevertheless, Limerick will prevail to make it seven Munster titles in succession — a remarkable achievement. LEINSTER LOOK The defending champions should also come out on top again in tomorrow's Leinster final, though Kilkenny's prospects will not be helped by the absence of Eoin Cody. Still, this is the best position that the Cats have been in for some time. Galway are coming into this decider on the back of a deserved win over Dublin. But for 20 minutes of that game, what was conjured up was some of the worst hurling I have ever seen at this level. There has been improvement in Galway since the first-round hammering they took against Kilkenny. Their performance that day bordered on embarrassing. But will there be enough to tip the balance back in their favour? Even with Cody unavailable to Derek Lyng, I am not convinced Galway have what it takes to claim a first Leinster title since 2018 at the expense of a Kilkenny side who have progressed to this stage in second gear.

With red mist in rear view, Barrett's focus turns to dismantling Kiely's well-oiled green machine
Munster final Saturday. We should and will look forward to this evening, but Shane Barrett is in our company and willing to reflect upon his moment of lapsed judgement. And so we'll begin with the opening day of Munster rather than the closing. The second-half at Cusack Park was 20 minutes old. Cork were nine clear. There was no danger. The potential danger sparked by Clare's resurgent second-half start had been dealt with and quenched. One red card later and a contest was reignited. It was a contest 14-man Cork were incredibly fortunate to come away from with a point. Barrett had been on the field when Damien Cahalane and Seán O'Donoghue's respective sending-offs had derailed their opening two championship bouts of 2024. And yet here was Barrett now engaged in a similar act of irrationality, of senseless behaviour. His off-the-ball lashing out at David Reidy was spotted and sanctioned. It would be four weeks before we'd again see sight of the All-Star centre-forward. It would be four weeks before Barrett had the opportunity to restart his championship and begin anew. 'Look, it happened, and I was thankful we got out of Ennis with a point. If we had lost up there, we would have been under a lot more pressure and I would have been feeling a lot worse, but once we got a point, and Tipp and Limerick also drew, no team was worse off,' Barrett rationalised. 'It cost us a point in Ennis and I was very regretful, but we weren't any worse off than when we got up there.' The subsequent Tipp fixture was Barrett's first championship match since the 2022 All-Ireland quarter-final defeat to sit out. A self-inflicted benching and so no sympathy was held or sought. 'Yeah [tough to watch], but it was my own doing so I couldn't really give out to anyone else. I probably hadn't watched a game like that in ages, so it was an experience I hadn't got since I was about 18. 'I didn't think much of it before the game but at the game it was horrible. The lads were brilliant on the day and put the game to bed in the first half. So, I enjoyed the second half.' Barrett was in the conversation for hurler of the year on the eve of last year's All-Ireland final. And yet the 24-year-old says there were no guarantees he'd reclaim his starting spot for the May 18 trip to Limerick. In spelling out the competition for the three half-forward jerseys, he lists Seamus Harnedy, Declan Dalton, Diarmuid Healy, Conor Lehane, Brian Roche, and Darragh Fitzgibbon. Robbie O'Flynn and Shane Kingston are others for that conversation too. 'That keeps you on your toes. You have to come into training every night firing – doing the things the manager wants and doing the things that work for us. 'Pat always talks about us having to represent the jersey, because it is such an iconic jersey in GAA. He always says you have to really cherish it when you put it on because you don't know when the last time you'll get to wear it will be. You could get injured, dropped, go out of form or whatever.' Suspension served, the Cork vice-captain and KPMG audit associate was restored to his new wing-forward berth for the Gaelic Grounds trip. The trip became a massacre. They go back up the road this afternoon for redemption and restoration of their bigger picture credentials. 'Everything really,' replied the Blarney clubman when asked where they left themselves down last time out. 'There wasn't anything we could have taken as a positive. They blew us completely out of the water. We had no answer for them whatsoever. 'They're an unbelievable unit, a well-oiled machine. They know each other inside out. It's about weathering the tough moments against them, and trying to impose your own game-plan on them.' One of the reactions to that 16-point thumping was to switch Darragh Fitzgibbon from No.11 back to midfield for the subsequent Waterford visit. It was the first time since March 1 that Fitzgibbon, at midfield, and Barrett, at centre-forward, lined out in the positions they thrived in on the run to the 2024 All-Ireland final. That selection has been maintained for Munster final Saturday. Barrett's task so is Kyle Hayes and significantly reducing the impact of the man of the match from their opening instalment. Barrett's task is to ensure his own impact at the close of Munster is far more positive than that of the province's opening day. Red chaos rather than red card.

What time and TV channel is Offaly v New York on today in the Tailteann Cup?
Offaly lost to London last year in the Tailteann Cup, so they will be wary of another exiles side coming to O'Connor Park. Surely lightning can't strike twice? You'd imagine Mickey Harte would be too wise to allow that. Offaly lost to Laois last weekend, shipping 3-18. They beat Waterford by five and Wicklow by eight points. Their extra match practice should tell here, but they need an upturn in form. Interestingly, New York's former Kildare forward, Jack Robinson, is listed on the bench despite his five points against Galway in their Connacht Quarter-final defeat. Where is the game being played? The game is being played at O'Connor Park, Tullamore. What time is throw-in? Throw in is at 2pm. Can I watch the game on TV? No, the game is not on TV. Is the game being streamed online? Yes, the game is being live streamed on GAA+ Betting Odds: Offaly: 1/14 Draw: 16/1 New York: 17/2
