		I am writing to you on behalf of the National League Supporters’ Association (NLSA) to urge you, on behalf of your club, to vote against the proposed merger between the eircom League and the FAI, and also the proposed FAI invitational league, at this weekend’s eircom League AGM.
		The NLSA is a supporters’ group established in June of 2005 with the intention of giving eircom League supporters a voice in the workings of the league which they support – financially as well as from the terraces.
		We have held meetings with the FAI on league issues and are listed as a contributor to the Genesis Report on the eircom League.

	Football League of Ireland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Football League of Ireland, usually known simply as the League of Ireland or the Eircom League (from the league's sponsorship by Irish telecommunications company Eircom), is a league of football clubs in the Republic of Ireland.
		It should not be confused with the Irish League, which is the league in Northern Ireland.
		Until recently the league followed the pattern of the other leagues in the British Isles of starting their league campaigns towards the end of Summer and playing through the Winter until late Spring and playing no league games during the height of Summer.

		It is proposed there be no promotion or relegation in the 2006 season and that in 2007 the Eircom League as we know it is effectively wound-up with all clubs having to reapply for membership of a new league.
		This proposal is the latest development for the Eircom League, which has enjoyed considerable success since the introduction of summer soccer.
		The Eircom League is therefore determined not to rest on its laurels as a result of both improved perception and football standards beyond all recognition since the start of the Millennium.

		Six eircom League clubs will know their fate tomorrow, Friday, when their appeals to the Club Licensing Appeals committee are heard with the future of senior football in Ireland at stake.
		The league is set to begin on the week ending 21 March and that has not changed.
		The league AGM has already once been postponed and then adjourned to an unknown date but soccercentral has been informed* that the fixtures are set to be endorsed by the League management committee and then only when the clubs in membership of the league and its format are known.

	Eircom league moves up 5 places in UEFA Rankings in Irish Football from Football.co.uk
		As the UEFA Cup made its transition to the group stage, supporters of eircom League football were forced to wave goodbye to its last remaining representative at European level for the 2006/07 season, writes Michael O'Reilly.
		The status of the league was at rock-bottom.
		In contrast with four years ago, the eircom League is keeping company with an altogether different level of opposition as the rankings table currently stands.

	Eircom League Weekly - Review
		Through Eircom League Weekly TV3 are responding well to the challenge of catering for the real soccer supporters in Ireland.
		The commercial behemoth that is the English Premiership and the global cash cow that is the UEFA Champions League have done much to confine coverage of Irish soccer to the cracks and interstices of Irish television schedules.
		It is vital to those involved with domestic league soccer clubs that not only their games be broadcast, but that the highest quality of footage and camerawork be used to reflect the progress that has been made over the last five years, something our public service broadcaster RTE is unwilling to do.

		The 22 Eircom League clubs meet tonight to decide their strategy for tomorrow's crucial FAI Board of Management and National Council meetings - and if it comes to an either-or decision between Eircom Park and Stadium Ireland, the League's nine delegates are almost certain to plump for the latter.
		Eircom league bosses met last night with summer soccer at the top of the agenda - but they deferred a decision until a special summit meeting on March 5.
		Eircom League champions Shelbourne have linked up with a Dublin school to give youngsters a chance at a soccer career while keeping up their education.

	RISSC (London) Eircom League
		Following a series of meetings and discussions held during 2006, the then 21 clubs of the Eircom League agreed that responsibility for the management of senior league football in the Republic of Ireland should be transferred to the Football Association of Ireland (FAI).
		It was decided that for the 2007 season, the Eircom League of Ireland Premier Division would comprise 12 teams and the First Division would be made up of 10 teams.
		In order to compete in the League, a club must be granted an appropriate licence and resposibility for the awarding of a licence lies with the First Instance Committee (FIC) of the League of Ireland.

		The eircom League's recent initiative to hold a half day seminar in the National College of Ireland was a welcome development.
		One might ask what is the point in the well meaning staff of the eircom League investing valuable time and energy into such projects if a small majority of their member clubs choose not to participate.
		Under rule 19.18 of the eircom League rule book when a player’s contract expires his club can seek a fee for a professional player if he is under 23 years and has had two full consecutive seasons with his club.

	Waterford News & Star: Eircom league is flying high (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		This was due in part to the fact that during this period Ireland exported the vast majority of its footballing talent to England, thus robbing the League of Ireland of any class that may have resuscitated it.
		In the past few years however the kiss of life has been given to the League of Ireland and now three years into the 21st Century, it is flourishing.
		And I firmly believe that the League of Ireland is only at the beginning of its return to former glory days.

	Tv3 To Show Eircom League Game - UK Football Forums
		The eircom League has today (July 15th) announced that TV3 will broadcast the Premier Division fixture between Cork City and Shelbourne at Turner's Cross on Saturday August 14th with a kick-off time of 5pm, with coverage commencing at 4.55pm and transmission will finish at 7pm.
		Welcoming the broadcast, eircom League Marketing Manager Aidan Doyle said: "TV 3 are great supporters of the eircom League and we're delighted that they are travelling to Cork to cover this exciting fixture.
		Its to be run by the FAI, (why arent the IFA getting involved?) When can they fit in the matches with summer soccer in the eircom league and for it to work there would need to be a hell of alot of money for the winners for it to be taken seriously.

	NLSITE Editorial - European analysis
		From the selfish 10-team Premier Division proposal, to the radical suggestion that there should be a 22-team League, all eircom League sides would seem to have some view on what should or should not be done.
		What actually occurred was that the Leaders of the League recently produced a blueprint document on the future of the eircom League, about which I wrote in an Editorial previously.
		Under the 10-Team League structure, the sick thought whereby the smaller clubs not in the Premier Division would operate under the motives of feeding the larger teams with players is astonishingly hypocritical.

	BreakingNews.ie: Eircom League fines Bohs and Rovers
		The eircom League Board of Control has decided to fine Bohemians 3,000 and Shamrock Rovers a total of 2,000 after considering the report of the Investigations Committee.
		The League’s Board of Control fined Bohemians 3,000 for their protest and use of flares during their clash with Shelbourne, and fined Rovers 1,000 for the pitch invasion against Bohemians and the pitch invasion and offensive banners on show during their clash with Shelbourne.
		The League is also to implement the recommendations of the Investigative Committee which means a Code of Conduct will be compiled while extra stewarding will be place for games deemed to be a higher safety risk.

	Dublin City Football Club - Home
		While Hoolahan's contractual status (his current deal with Shels was due to expire in a year's time) may have forced the club's hand somewhat, the sum involved could judiciously be characterised as a derisory valuation of a player with extensive underage international and European experience.
		Accompanying Doyle and Hoolahan in the 2005 departure lounge were Waterford's Daryl Murphy (a snip at £100,000 for Premiership Sunderland, where his talents have remained largely unused) and erstwhile Ireland international Dominic Foley, who availed of a contractual loophole to terminate his tempestuous involvement with Bohemians in favour of a Belgian billet at KAA Gent.
		As if to underscore the full cost to eircom League football of a year which saw the domestic talent pool drained remorselessly by overseas suitors, 2005 ended with Kevin Doyle and Shane Long notching for Reading in a 2-2 draw with Derby County.

		Derry, currently joint top of the League and on a 19-game unbeaten run, are favourites though UCD are not an easy team to beat, especially at home, and they will be quietly confident of claiming the victory.
		For Derry, this season also marks their 20th year in the eircom League which, Candystripes boss Stephen Kenny believes, would make claiming the League Cup all the better.
		Derry, who are also still in the FAI Cup and joint-top of the League, have two injury worries with Sean Hargan (foot) and Killian Brennan (knee) both facing late fitness tests.

		Irish club Dublin City has quit the Eircom League due to financial problems, sparking changes at the top of the premier division after the club's results this season were expunged.
		The Eircom League on Wednesday scrapped the results of all 17 matches played by Dublin to date this season, putting Drogheda United at the top of a revised 11-team premier division, with Derry City in second place.
		"The issues affecting all Eircom League clubs in terms of viability and securing a sustainable future within the league are similar and are very much behind the rationale for the planned merger with the FAI," he said in a statement.

		In the last year there as been a mass exitdus of eircom league players to england and scotland, but in the game players from the eircom league can't step up and play championship.
		However, there is not time to revise the entire Irish file for the Data Update, and the overall ratings for that league will be revised in the next few months for FM2008 as part of the ongoing research practises.
		NB: The last such 'exodus' of players from that league to England were when Roddy Collins was in charge at Carlisle, and those signings were mainly flops.

		The draw for the 2006 eircom League cup was announced this afternoon, ushered into being behind closed doors and without recourse to familiar contemporary paraphernalia such as celebrity pot-pickers and boisterous studio audiences.
		Its low-key initiation notwithstanding, the tournament will be contested with renewed fervour this season; no longer a series of glorified friendlies pitting one haphazard selection against another, the competition has acquired additional impetus as a portal to the relative riches of Setanta Cup qualification.
		Further west, the Pool C encounter between Finn Harps vs. Galway United emerges as one of the more eye-catching ties, although Longford vs. Mayo League is unlikely to win eternal renown.
