Ireland has met Euro 2008 requirements, says Lyons

IRELAND has delivered on all their requirements in spectacular fashion, the Scottish Irish Euro 2008 bid marketing director Simon Lyons said on the eve of the decisive presentation.

Lyons believes votes can still be won over the next 48 hours as the bid team will offer their official presentation to UEFA as the last of the seven candidates this evening ahead of the final announcement tomorrow.

The team are now in Switzerland ahead of the announcement with canvassing still uppermost in their minds as they attempt to bring the event to Scotland and Ireland after 18 months developing the bid.
