Brussels is set to fill the breach if Leopardstown cannot stage the World Cross-Country Championships later this month.

The event, which is due to take place on March 24/25, is in doubt because of the foot and mouth crisis, which has already resulted in Ireland losing a weekend of sport.

Spain and Portugal are also viewed as alternative hosts for the tournament.

A decision on whether it will go ahead in Ireland is expected later this week.
