the lure of big rugby games at a weekend was always going to be a far far easier sell to corporate ireland than mid week qualifiers etc against mostly unglamerous opposition. also, the irfu had a huge waiting list for 10 year tickets in place well before the new stadium was even dreamt of. the comparison is therefore unfair.
So why not take the guaranteed money rather than sell themselves with the greater risk?

Yup, the FAI have no history whatsoever of vindictiveness and petty score settling.
