Celtic nations

Celtic Nations - Scotland(Blue), Ireland (Green) Wales (red)
   Here is a map of the Celtic nations. Scotland is 78,387 km2 which makes it the largest of the 3 nations. Scotlands population is about 5.222 Million which also is the largest of the three..

The Republic of Ireland's size is slightly smaller than Scotland's at 70,273. Ireland's  population is also slightly smaller than Scotland's at 4.588 Million est.

Northern Ireland size is 13,843km2 and the population in this Celtic area is about 1.799 Million......so if Northern Ireland was combined with Republic of Ireland ....to indicate Ireland (the Green of the map) Ireland would be the largest of the 3 , both in size and population.

Wales (red) is only 20,779km 2 but the population is 3 Million. Wales is the red area on the map.

   Each of these Celtic nations has one huge city. Scotland has Glasgow, Ireland has Dublin, Wales has Cardiff and I do not want to forget Northern Ireland's Belfast.

I am hoping each federation can work with the others and find a way to get this huge sporting event to this area. The Celtic area would invite 24 nations and their fans to celebrate this great event in these major cities. This would be a huge economic boon for the cities mentioned and each country as a whole.
  The 24 nations would bring their rabbid hans to celebrate this huge event.

These countries do not have to build, the so called "white elephant", a new 50k stadium and have it site there after the tournamnet is over. These countries already have the stadiums thanks to the GAA and Rugby stadiums.
