Poll: Are you pleased Ireland is set to co-host Euro 2028?

Turkey withdrew their bid to host the competition, putting Ireland and the UK as the frontrunners to host.

IRELAND IS SET to co-host the 2028 Uefa European Championships alongside the United Kingdom, with Uefa today confirming their bid to stage the tournament is unopposed. 

Uefa announced today that Turkey have withdrawn their rival bid to host the tournament, and confirmation is expected to arrive next Tuesday.

That leaves the Irish/UK bid for 2028 unopposed, with the final hurdle to clear being ratification by a vote at Uefa’s Executive Committee meeting in Switzerland next Tuesday.

There is no confirmation yet on how many co-hosts will qualify automatically.

With this news, we want to know… Are you pleased Ireland is set to co-host Euro 2028?

    All the money is going to the Children’s Hospital, though the HSE will deny that.

    @Chin Feeyin: primary care has its own budget funding HCPs has always been a nightmare. They should be auditing every package in the country to see if hours are still needed.

    Maybe that’s why my father in-law of 90 years of age was refused home help, even though the district nurse put it in as urgently needed

    I’m sure Simon Harris with his vast amount of experience in the field of health will sort this out in a flash. We should feel confident that such a giant political figure is top man at the HSE.

    Meanwhile Ireland spends over €14m a DAY on National Debt servicing,….€583,333 an HOUR!If FG fought to get a better deal from Troika in 2011 as Prof Mody said they could have done then we ‘d have alot more to spend in public services,etc!

    I have a friend who is 91, lives alone, and waiting for a home care package. She is vulnerable and at risk. Her extended family helps at random times but she has always been independent and finds it difficut to be in a position to need assistance.
