I don't give a sh*t about his motives, but the fact is that a 50K seater stadium could have been built long ago in the docklands area for around €200 - €250 million if he was really interested in a stadium and not a monument.Originally posted by The Money Man
It is purely coincidental that 10 mins after Oddboy's new thread relating to Bertie's dealings appeared in this site, I hear on RTE radio that Bertie, last night, gave UEFA a signed undertaking on behalf of the government to complete the National Stadium by 2008. The committment is similar to that given by the Portugese government some years ago to secure Euro 2004. The move was agreed by cabinet yesterday afternoon.
You are entitled to question the man's motives but if we have an all seater stadium for 2008, I for one wont care what the motivation is.
