The Shannonsiders were comprehensively beaten by Tipperary in Cappamore on Saturday, losing on a scoreline of 4-26 to 0-08, bringing their season to an end.
Limerick also suffered a heavy opening round defeat to All-Ireland champions Cork in Páirc Uí Rinn last month. The 'Treaty County' losing on a scoreline of 6-25 to 0-05.
Whilst Quaid's side did enjoy positive results against Wexford and Clare in-between these fixtures, the Feohanagh native says that the championship structure is 'flawed.'
"The result is proof that the system is flawed, we had two outstanding matches against Wexford and Clare but on the end of two hammerings by the two top tier teams of Cork and Tipperary," he said.
"For the development of the girls It’s disheartening for them because they gave everything they could out there and that’s all you can ask.
"We were a bit flat in the first half but we made changes in the second, everyone emptied the tank and that’s all you can ask for," he added.
