Sinéad Gibney: “The FAI, as it stands, are hiding behind the UEFA decision.”

we cannot stand alongside Israel in a sporting fixture of this nature

it's far from symbolic, we've had two and a half years of absolute devastation broadcast on our screens

The only thing we can do, the only thing we have to do is sanction them [Israel] and boycott them, stand up and say we are leaders, say we are not playing Israel... You need to grow a pair as a Government and do this, stop the game.

this is an opportunity to stand up as leaders and say we will distance ourselves from Israel
