Picture shows U2 at Giants Stadium Weds. Sept 23

U2 are en route to a PR storm in Ireland after announcing their 2010 dates.

It seems they've decided to skip Ireland for unknown reasons.

I know they had problems in Croke Park but I don't think that's the reason for skipping Ireland.

Wonder what it is?

Here are the dates so far.

August 12, 2010 - AWD Stadium, Hannover, Germany
August 15, 2010 - Stadium, Horsens, Denmark

August 25, 2010 - Luzhniki, Moscow, Russia
August 30, 2010 - Ernst Happel Stadium, Vienna, Austria
September 3, 2010 - Olympic Stadium, Athens, Greece
