activists have occupied the Department of Sport, Communications and Culture in a peaceful protest against the decision to play genocidal Israel in the upcoming Nations League.
This is part of a continuing protest which will intensify until these two shameful fixtures have been stopped.
The Government has placed pressure on the FAI, who are also culpable, to fulfil these fixtures. Taoiseach Miaceal Martin was one of the first to demand that the FAI play these games. Ireland is a part of the International Criminal Court and as such should not be engaging in sportswashing . We are failing in our moral, humanitarian and legal obligations as a country in playing these games.
grassroots activists will continue to demand these games are stopped and further details will be advised at an already called media event tomorrow, 30 July 2026, at 11AM in the Whistleblower Cafe, South Anne Street, Dublin 2.
