Following the controversial Ireland v Israel football fixture, the #MondayGR panel discussed whether politics and sport can truly be separated, and why what transpired in Debrecen was “indicative of the failure of leadership” at the FAI.

🗣️ “When you become a united Ireland, you can’t just become partitionist and say, well, they can celebrate that up north but not in the rest of the country.”
