No idea what or where the Britannia or Emirate are, although I have heard of the Emirates I guess that means either the Britannia sponsors a rubbish team or they just got a new deal recently.
Where is the O2?

You could be going to get a new insurance quote, if you say your going to Landsowne Road there is zero confusion, and even if you didn't know that there was a stadium there a quick GoogleMaps search and you'll soon find out where they are on about. Stick O2 into Goggle and there is no telling what it will come up with, but call one of the places The Point and they will know your on about the place in Dublin.
