Croke Park uncertainty 'not helping Euro 2008 bid'

Sports Minister John O'Donoghue has told the Dail that clarity on the use of Croke Park for soccer games would be helpful to the joint Scottish-Irish bid to host the 2008 European Championships.

UEFA is due to reveal its choice of host country next month and Mr O'Donoghue said he believes the joint bid is the best on the table.
