LYON, France (Reuters) - Ireland manager Martin O'Neill said on Saturday it was unfair that fewer than 5,000 tickets had been allocated to Ireland supporters for their game against France in the round of 16 of Euro 2016.

Hosts France found out three days before Ireland that they would be playing in Lyon on Sunday for a place in the quarter-finals.
