Martin O'Neill admits Euro 2016 may have to be played in empty stadiums

Republic of Ireland boss Martin Oneill says Euro 2016 games to be played indoors following Brussels atrocity

Republic of Ireland boss Martin O'Neill would reluctantly accept playing Euro 2016 games behind closed doors if the ongoing terror threat meant that was the only alternative.

UEFA insisted on Wednesday that it had no plans to keep supporters out of games at this summer's finals in France in the wake of Tuesday's attacks in Brussels.


However, O'Neill admitted that, should security chiefs decide that is the best solution to guarantee the safety of all involved, they would have to do it.


He said: "If someone wants to make an attack as happened yesterday, it's very, very difficult to deal with that, but overall the security that we're being provided with is really excellent and like everything else, I'd comply with anything that is happening.

"There's talk about matches being played behind closed doors, but the safety of people is of paramount importance and anything that is agreed upon, we will fall in line.
