O’Neill wary on Euro call

GAA president Liam O’Neill said the organisation would more than likely be unable to make their stadiums available to the FAI for any future bid to host or co-host the European Championships.

Following last weekend’s news that the GAA will consider making six stadiums available to the IRFU for a feasibility study into a Rugby World Cup bid, the Laois man admitted similar offerings couldn’t be given to the FAI.

“There is a difficulty with the European Championships in timing,” O’Neill told TV3’s The GAA Show. “That would be in the middle of our season when we need our stadia and we would have to put our own games first.
