The Government is pressing the case for Cork to host a Euro 2028 game originally earmarked for Belfast.
Tánaiste and Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin said GAA stadium Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork was being “seriously looked at” as a potential alternative venue.
Mr Martin’s party colleague, Minister of State Thomas Byrne, has contacted the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) to ask that both Páirc Uí Chaoimh and the Gaelic Athletic Association’s flagship stadium at Croke Park in Dublin are put “into the mix” when it comes to reallocating the ill-fated Belfast games.
The move comes after the UK government announced on Friday that it would not be providing funding to rebuild Casement Park in Belfast in time for the Euros.
