The proposal as pitched to the Press of giving the FAI/IRFU 20 or 30 million to takeover the running of the stadium for 5 years is a pretty legitimate proposal that it is hard to see why they would turn down.
The utilization of the stadium is brutal and there is clearly scope for more events . Are there any planning issues that would limit usage a la Garth Brooks scenario that make it impractical i wonder.
If there were no "strings" attached and the IRFU turned it down simply on principal then the Govt should be questioning why they are looking for a bail out when they are turning cash down
