[edit] European qualification

Does anyone know what the case would be regarding the transfer of Euro qualification slots if the league winners (who would qualify for the Champions League as a result) were also to win the cup? Would the UEFA Cup spot up for grabs in the cup be transferred to the loser or would it somehow be transferred to a team next in line in the league standings? Logic tells me the former, but you never know with the FAI.--Danny Invincible 16:56, 17 December 2006 (UTC)


It's the former. Take 2006, for example: Derry City took the Champions League place (even though they finished 2nd; because Shelbourne didn't apply for a UEFA Licence), and Derry City also won the FAI Cup. The Cup UEFA Cup spot was taken by the runners-up, St. Patrick's Athletic. The 2nd UEFA Cup spot went to Drogheda United (who finished (3rd) just behind Derry in the league).

Eh, I think you'll find that Donegal Celtic are based in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Danny InvincibleTalk|Edits 01:51, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Yeah the club is named after a road in Belfast, which is itself named after the county Lord Cornwallis (talk) 17:17, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] All-Ireland League

I think the article should mention the prospect of an All-Ireland League, which has been prominent in media reports the last year. Lord Cornwallis (talk) 17:17, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
