Investment in games promotion officers just like the have done in Dublin. And proper promotion of the Christy Ring etc. In fairness there is actual progress being made in a lot of counties. Armagh and Tyrone for example have came on a lot in the last few years. By all accounts Ulster is doing a lot of work to promote the game and have good structures. The way the championship is set up though teams hit a glass ceiling and interest tends to fall. Meath Carlow Westmeath etc have all suffered from this.
