First off, thanks for joining the discussion, and your welcome to join the discord community.
I do have a couple of things to comment on what you said.
------
Maybe it’s time to shake things up a bit. A bit of fresh blood in the management or a new approach could do the team good. There’s no denying the effort that’s gone into things so far, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t take a hard look at what could be improved.
Unfortunately, this can also have a massive negative effect, and this has happened to both NTs very recently, where newer managers took over the NTs and probably got overwhelmed, then just abandoned the team. An NT job is not to be taken lightly, and I would first suggest things to the current NT bosses, either in DMs, the forum, or discord. Each time it happens it sets the NTs back about 6 or 7 seasons, and makes the next 3-5 seasons far more difficult in terms of the the teams they draw the in NT tournaments. I'm very skeptical about managers with little or no experience being put in to the role when we've only really just recovered from the NT being abandoned a few season ago.

Also, there have been a few strange decisions around the national team squad both in terms of who gets called up and who actually gets minutes.
The first thing to know is that the Irish NT team seems to have a lot of C/PF compared to any other position. The Guard positions are something of a problem for the NT an has been for a while. Again, if you have questions over why a player isn't playing, it can be good to ask the NT. There may be a reason for it, like a weakness in a players game, or the coach using a specific tactic that plays away from a players strengths - there is no point in using them in that situation if they could be exploited or are gonna underperform.
I know the current NT selection is an experimental one to have a look at new players as the NT manager said he was gonna do it on the discord.

The first thing I recommend to anyone is to join the discord, the more people we can have there, the more ideas we can have to help each other and our NTs.
