Re: foot and mouth in Dublin

[odd JOB]

Tony,

Dublin isn't "badly affected" as you say.  The Republic of Ireland has yet to have a confirmed outbreak of foot and mouth.  The reason the tournament is cancelled is 12 UK teams were going to be coming across, mingling in fields with Irish people and possibly spreading the disease there.

With Bristol being in an already affected part of Britain, I can only assume the tournament will not be called off for the same reason.
