Bah, I see RTÉ's online coverage of the draw this morning is Ireland-only. The UEFA website will be broadcasting it here from 11AM, however: http://www.uefa.com/uefaeuro/finals/draws/index.html

Sean St. Ledger is on Sky Sports News covering our interest in the draw.

It's on Sky Sports News as well just in case that's any use to you.

Just realised. Watching there now.

Jaysus Eamon looks like he had a good night, the HD is doing him no favours.

Some interesting bits of info:

Unlike the previous UEFA qualifying tournament, Russia and Georgia have agreed to play each other if they are drawn together.
• France (Coeff: 30,992; Rank: 11) are partnered with the five-team group, which enable the 2016 tournament hosts to play friendlies against these countries on their 'spare' dates. These friendlies do not count in the qualifying group standings.

Suppose we didnt want to play Northern Ireland? ha

The way the groups are shaping up, I'd almost take England or Northern Ireland.

Group B please...

Group A the one to avoid so far

Is Iceland to Kazakhstan the longest possible qualifier journey.

Group B or Group F the weakest so far?
Would we want to be in Group I with two friendlies against France?

No. Don't like the look of that.

B, E and F for me.

I'd take C as well.

B, E or F. Definitely not A, G or I
