But listen, it will be assessed in our merits where our team engages with us and comes forward with a proposal.

You're right, I think we've developed a great reputation in this country of hosting world-class events.

And just during the week, we launched the economic impact assessment and analysis in relation to the

NFL regular season game between the Steelers and Minnesota Vikings in Croke Park last September and you're right for the 10 million euro that we invested there was a great return to the state with over 23 million euro actually coming back into our coppers in terms of revenue return and over 100 million euro of economic benefits so it made a lot of sense and it makes sense for us to do

and to look to see where we can support events.

But they will all be assessed in their merits because the onus is on us from the point of view of managing taxpayer funds to make sure we assess things, to make sure they benefit the public economically, as well as in terms of sports participation.

And certainly we'll be very open to engaging.

with Katie's team around a proposal that they would be coming forward with.

But listen, it's primarily a matter for Katie and her team to consider that and to engage with us.

But we'd certainly be open to any engagement around that and would certainly love to see the event taking place in the country this year.

Yeah, well, listen, I mean, it is a matter for UEFA to decide that.

I know the FAI were one of only two countries to bring that motion to UEFA and didn't receive support from other UEFA members whenever they came forward.

So that's the choice that UEFA have made.

And I know the FAI, as they outlined today, they have to work within the legal advice and their own constitution and have made the decision to fulfill the fixture and to have it in Dublin.

It's a decision I would support and I think it's the right decision.

I also welcome as well the announcement today from the FAI as well that they want to make the home game an opportunity as well to provide support for humanitarian assistance to the people of Palestine and the

for the unbearable situation many have found themselves in.

From a government point of view, Owen, we have been to the forefront internationally in relation to providing the leadership in relation to what happened and the absolutely unacceptable response that we've seen and the innocent death unnecessary that happened as a result of the

totally excessive response of Israel in Palestine.

We were also to the fore in relation to condemning Hamas' atrocious attack on Israel in the first instance.
