Fitzgerald said: “I’m a Munster man and I manage a Leinster team, which I’m very proud of, and I think it should be both equal. I actually don’t see a problem in having six and six [in Munster and Leinster}. There should be up and down. The All-Ireland winning manager with Clare in 2013 believes that two teams should be promoted to the Liam MacCarthy each year. This would help smaller counties close the gap to the bigger teams by exposing them to a higher level more regularly. He continued: “I’d actually like to see two go up and two go down the whole time. I want to expose more teams to Liam MacCarthy, that would be my vision. I think there are certain teams made for it.
