The 2024 Premier Division season is — for the neutral at least — a welcome change from the last few seasons when the run-in was more like a lie-in. Shamrock Rovers won the first of their four-in-a-row, in a season cut short by a global pandemic, with four games to spare; in 2021 they did it with three games left; then with two matches remaining in both 2022 and 2023.
