"...we look back on when the Irish government refused to allow a match between Ireland and the Serbian predecessor Yugoslavia take place."
A quick search shows Dara Calleary is talking out his arse here.

I'm late to this but it's a fantastic interview (in fairness Sharon Lambert is fantastic in every interview).
Empathy for others, forward looking policies that help "deliberately excluded" areas, community & reducing inequality are the tools we need.
Recommended listening for everyone
One of the most important news stories in years regarding NI & @news.rte.ie has nationwide on.. ffs I'm getting my info from sky news. RTE just isn't for purpose. #speirgorm #irishpol
Does Heather Humphreys have any Sunday paper column today educating us on the "nuances of unionism, loyalism, Orange lodges & marching bands"?
It seems like a lost opportunity "to break the culture of silence " by her if not, given the "nuances" of what's happening on the Garvaghy Road.
They really are reading 3 year old Tory policies & thinking they are great ideas.
How about filling the €250m shortfall in funding for the higher education sector James?
How about following the gov's own funding reports before demonising Intl students, or did Daddy Jim tell you no?
Christ almighty, Micheál Martin in the UN saying "let it not be said that we did not act" on Gaza really boils my piss.
The langer has no fucking shame.
File under Daragh O'Brien's pig in a poke.
If she/we don't understand his message by now, then what hope have we.
Perhaps the gov will respond to this by continuing with the rationale included the hype report that every job in Ireland that uses a computer is reliant on the country being colonised by data centres.
Great to hear the gang back giving us all some free group therapy on the state of climate & everything else, & also valuably pointing out the utter failure of this gov on Climate.
(Also, don't skip the outtro 👌)
... and James Lawless can hang his head in shame too.
The President of every University involved should hold this over him & stonewall anything of substance that he wants to achieve between now and the next election.
"... his desire to use his education and learned skills to rebuild Gaza"
"...is currently in Spain after being offered a position on a course there"
Jim O'Callaghan is a national disgrace & an absolute cesspit of a human being.
The Irish gov has also contracted this blind-eye affliction, given they did nothing about the hate machine & CSAM factory operating under Irish law & EU DPC jurisdiction.
They've ignored the Oireachtas Media Cmttee recommendations, but the cmttee haven't been shouting about it either.
I really want to go mad about that Micheál Martin & Andy Burnham instagram video with the Barry's Tea.
Precious bilateral time used as a distraction by both of them, but there's no point. They aren't going to change, & ppl seem to be lapping it up.
We're all being led up the garden path
Má tánn tú ag foghlaim Gaeilge ⁊ tá suim agat i pPolaitíocht na hÉireann, caith súil ar The Running Mate ar @tg4.bsky.social, tá sé beagáinín aosta ach siamsúla.
If you are learning Irish & like #IrishPol, check out The Running Mate on TG4, it's old but entertaining.
I think FFG are happy to endlessly debate a United Ireland to distract from talking about housing, climate, data centres, health, & all their other failures, while also not doing any real work to prepare for a United Ireland.
SF also happy to talk about their raison d'être.
