This is an excellent suggestion. However to make it worthwhile it would be far more preferable if a co-ordinated effort could be made to progress this issue.
Rather than a couple of people indiscriminately banging off emails to random TD's would it not be better to approach this in a logical manner? How about group letters to John O'Donoghue, Jimmy Deenihan (FG Spokesman on Sport), Jack Wall (Labour). Don't know about the PD's but their record indicates that they know nothing (and care less) about sport. Not sure who the Green Party spokesman is and don't know if SF (other than Martin McGuinness) generally care about anything other than GAA but maybe it might be worth following up?
A guy called Niall Ginty established the National Stadium Action Group a few years ago. While this seemed to be very much a 'one man operation', he was involved with handing out leaflets prior to some internationals in Lansdowne. If I recall correctly, he also leafletted some areas of Dublin prior to the last general election exhorting voters not to support parties who did not commit to building a national stadium. Haven't heard from him in a while so I'm not sure whether he's still involved....
