Keith Andrews claims that the Republic of Ireland are not going to Euro 2012 "for the craic" and he is confident that they can qualify from Group C.

Keith Andrews is confident that the Republic of Ireland can qualify from their group at Euro 2012.

Giovanni Trapattoni's men have been drawn in Group C alongside Italy, Croatia and world champions Spain.

"We are not going there for the craic. We will leave that to the fans," said the West Bromwich Albion midfielder. "They are there to enjoy themselves. We will enjoy ourselves by doing things right.

"We have done part of the job by qualifying. If we were going there just to make up the numbers, we might as well have just left it at the play-off in Estonia.

"We are going there full of confidence. We have qualified from a tough group, come through a tough qualifier and we are certainly going there to come out of that group."

Andrews is one of three West Brom players in Ireland's 23-man squad for the championships, along with Simon Cox and Shane Long.
