It would be a great opportunity for tourism, culture and business. Irish companies have gained between €250 million and €500 million through building stadia for the Olympics in Britain. The same would occur in Ireland, leading to employment and business for hotels, for example. The world cup would showcase our small country's facilities. If New Zealand can do it, I do not know why Ireland cannot.
