Whatever about the question surrounding the Dublin men's team playing in Croke Park, it is an even thornier issue for their female counterparts.
Dessie Farrell’s side opened their Leinster campaign in Wexford Park, but the majority of their games take place at GAA HQ, something many observers feel is an unfair advantage.
That is a topic for another day, but their most recent outing, a Leinster final against Kildare was preceded by the women’s decider between the Dubs and Meath, a historic first with two provincial finals sharing the venue for the first time.
Dublin manager Mick Bohan admitted he had "mixed views" on the decision, balancing the need to grow the sport and look for parity, tempered with the struggle to fill seats in an 82,000 venue.
Speaking at the launch of AIG’s new For Times Like These campaign, goalkeeper Ciara Trant said that she reluctantly agreed with her manager.
It's kind of selfish to say you don't want the match to be played in Croke Park
After two cracking encounters between Dublin and Meath earlier in the year in Parnell Park and Tailteann Park with a win apiece, the sparse crowd didn’t lend itself to a similar atmosphere.
"It's kind of selfish to say you don't want the match to be played in Croke Park because there's a lot of men and women who would love to play a match in Croke Park, even if it was empty," she said.
"I think, just based on the crowds we had in Parnell Park, and in Navan this year, that atmosphere wasn't replicated in Croke Park for the Leinster final, which was a shame.
"Obviously, Croke Park is where you want to play.
"I'm on the same page with Mick on that. I don't think the timing of matches should be sacrificed for it to be played in a certain venue, or on TV at a certain time.
"I think whatever is going to make it the best match on the day is more important. Would they have had to move it to a neutral venue somewhere else? I thought it would have had a better atmosphere in Parnell Park or Páirc Tailteann."
The league encounter between the two rivals, where Hannah Tyrrell’s late free swung the pendulum towards the Dubs at the death, served as a reminder of what can be produced at a provincial ground.
"Navan was packed that day. It did feel like a championship match and it went down to the wire.
"The more of those matches we can produce, the better it is for us to play in. And people are spending their time coming to the games, so we want to put on a show for them as well."
The shotstopper is thoroughly enjoying the rivalry building with the Royals and after last year’s All-Ireland final defeat, there is no shortage of motivation to right that wrong this year.
A ninth successive final appearance is well within their compass and a fifth title in that period is what the panel is aspiring to.
Trant says the mood in the camp is one of excitement.
"I think the loss has given us an added bit of a bite this year; trying to correct our wrongs and get back to the top. There was excitement and a determination (in the team).
"We were disappointed with our performance in the final last year, so trying to put that right this year is a massive focus. We were excited, but in a different way to previous years."
