    Are Republic of Ireland allowed enter a team for the olympic games 2012?

    Much talk about England entering a side. Only England players representing Team GB.
    It would be great to have a side represented from the LOI. What are possibilities of this happening

    Thought it wont happen because of the Northern Ireland-Ireland divide much like Wales & Scotland being opposed to a GB side? All sounds silly to me considering there is an All-Ireland Rugby side and British representation in other sports.

    No it's not, Dublin is. Check this out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dublin

    Also a Irish Olympic team would get smashed about, not a good idea.

    Plus as was said on the thread about this last week, we already try to qualify for the Olympics anyway via the Under 21 European Championships. We just never qualify.

    Yep that too, but with Given's in charge we will never see it happen.
