The Taoiseach said he would be discussing the hosting of the tournament with British prime minister Rishi Sunak in Grenada on Thursday. “Can I just say Taoiseach, do you not feel that this is potentially a huge distraction in terms of football infrastructure in this country?” Minister for Sport Thomas Byrne said that working together with Northern Ireland, with Wales, England, Scotland is “hugely significant” and “much needed now in the post-Brexit environment”.
“I suppose the focus now is on putting the finalities to the formal process between now and 2028. It will be brilliant for our country, a huge amount of planning and focus across a range of areas like transport, infrastructure and obviously capacity as well,” he said.
