All booked. Charleroi airport. €88 one way and see from there. Probably hire a car with my mates for the three games. I'll worry about the return flight later.
Dublin to Amsterdam and the Thalys to Paris on the day of the game is working out at 110€
for myself and the nipper.
I'll figure out the getting home part after Xmas.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!

Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Just booked a direct flight with Aer Lingus from Cork to Paris CDG for 12th June (12:30) and it only cost €62. I feel like I've been tricked.

What's the price for flights out the following day, 13th, the day of the game, and what about the cost of getting back?
That flight I booked went up to €332 a short time later!
Siberian - there's a flight for €46 the day of the game, Cork to Paris. It's a bit too tight for comfort though as it only gets you to the airport for 16:30. The stadium is that side of the city I believe as I passed it on the way to the airport before but any delay and you'd be fecked. Plus luggage, etc. As for getting back there are probably a million different ways you could do it, just have to suss out the best option for yourself by scanning the various routes. I'll be coming back from Bordeaux on the 20th.
I was going to recommend flying via Stockholm, Oslo or Copenhagen, because that's usually dirt cheap... but then I remembered that the other crowd are all doing that
Who else is heading a tad earlier and possibly catching TUR-CRO the night before?

Even Beauvais isn't cheap, throw in the €17 one way for the bus, hour and a bit for that to get basically to the outskirts of Paris and you'd be better getting a flight to London and the Eurostar for about €140 all in one way into the Gare Du Nord. 8 of us heading and that's what we're doing, going to worry about getting home in the future last minute depending how the group goes. We've Air BnB'd Paris and Bordeaux, got a lovely chateaux with a pool 15 mins outside Bordeax for 45 a night pp and a barge that sleeps 12 on the Seine for Paris! Lille is a write off, you'd nearly be better staying in Belgium. Anyone thinking of staying in Paris for the last match, kick off is 9 and last train back is about half 10!
That match is on at 3pm so we won't quite make it. Might keep an eye on the ticket situation for the Switzerland Romania game on the 15th though. We're heading to Lens for England Wales also but I'd imagine tickets for the would be pretty unlikely, I have applied for a few though as a neutral.
The closing date was the 1st February unfortunately. I just used a couple of other guys passport details (with their permission of course ) as I had already used my own to apply for the Ireland games. I applied for restricted view tickets as that's what popped up when I selected Cat.3.
Think we can apply for the other games through the general portal next week. I'm definitely going to try and take in a few of the other games. Would love to see the French play in the Stade Veledrome!
Wheres a good meet up point in Paris for fans.
Was there 10 years ago for Brian Kerrs game but no real bar street, downtown location as such.
Any tips/ideas?

In 2004 there was a big crowd gathered around the Moulin Rouge area. Think the pub was called O'Sullivans.
Just booked Dublin to Paris via London for about €220 return and 3 nights in Paris
Last time a lot of Irish fans gathered under the Eiffel tower on match day. Will that be happening again?
The real fans on YBIG might.
I'd wager we'll be more civilised.
