The government made a total hames of this and the FAI have treated the GAA in an arrogant manner. It's simply not on inviting UEFA delegates to visit Croke Park and not being upfront with the actual owners of Croke Park about proceedings. The only saving grace is that the GAA will allow UEFA inspect Croke Park and that UEFA are not likely to see a finer stadium in any other country. We can only hope that the possibility that Croke Park can be used will be enough to offset all the bad press about the Government's decision to abandon Stadium Ireland. There's still enough money in private enterprise to build the second required stadium. Irish millionaire JP McManus has already lodged 60 million in a Swiss Bank Account for the stadium. That's nearly 25% of the cash already. But overall the Irish part of this bid is very haphazzard, without any leadership. Roy Keane was right when he said the FAI are a shambles. We are seeing it big time here. Add to this the "nod is as good as a wink" politics of Bertie Aherne and you have a right recipe for disaster.
