Tiernan Lynch has reignited the conversation over a switch to the Irish League calendar in a bid to help teams competing on the European stage.
The debate over a switch to a summer season in Northern Ireland has been a topic of discussion for several years now.
Lynch feels it is a "massive disadvantage" for clubs from here when paired with teams who are midway through their domestic campaigns.

Larne face that very prospect when they take on HJK Helsinki in the first qualifying round of the Champions League this evening.
The Finnish champions have 16 league games under their belts ahead of this first leg tie and Lynch feels it is time for a change.
"I think it's a massive, massive disadvantage for our clubs, especially if you play against Scandinavian teams who are 16 or 17 games into their season," he said.
"It's difficult enough coming back to play competitive games in Europe, but what makes it more difficult is when they have that advantage of having played so many games.
"I'm not going to try and make excuses before a ball is kicked or anything like that.
"It is obviously something I think as a league that needs to be addressed and looked at.
"European football is where the finances are at the moment whether we like it or not.
"It's what can help bring the league forward, raise the coefficient and all that goes with making us a better and full-time league.
"I think we have to give ourselves every chance and in order to do that, we have to give ourselves a level playing field.
"The only way we can do that is by getting a summer season.
"You cast your mind back to this time last year when we played St Joseph's and then you think where we were 12 games into our own league campaign.
"Who knows, but I don't personally think we would have found ourselves in the position that we did."
Despite Lynch's concerns about the disparity between the teams in terms of games played, he insists the Invermen will relish the challenge.
"It's going to be a tough task but it's one that we have to go and enjoy," he said.
"We've done a lot of homework on them, we've seen them against all kinds of different opposition, home and away and teams playing all kinds of different formations against them.
"They are a very possession based team who are comfortable on the ball.
"It's always going to be tough when you're up against a team who have played so many competitive games and we haven't played one.
"We aren't going to make excuses though, we will go and work off a game plan and hopefully we get through it.
"This is a great learning curve for us and a great opportunity to play against a team from a different country and style.
"We have to take the positives out of it and relish the challenge.
"There's a huge element of bravery in this and we have to take the experience."
