Martin O’Neill: We’ll comply with security restrictions

Although Uefa continue to insist that the Euro 2016 finals will be played out in public, Martin O’Neill says that he and the Irish squad will be ready to comply with any security restrictions at the tournament in light of the terror attacks in Paris and Brussels.

“There’s talk about matches being played behind closed doors but the safety of people is of paramount importance and anything that is agreed upon, we will fall in line,” the manager said yesterday.

“If that is an alternative and it’s the only alternative then, if we are going to have the competition, we may have to comply with it.
