I am personally absolutely supportive of and would love to see an all-Ireland soccer team. We need to see both the FAI and Irish Football Association, IFA, trying to have that discussion on a shared island basis. We need to support cross-Border initiatives and co-operation. We have seen great co-operation over other parts of our sports system on a whole range of different sports. It is about having that space for both associations to discuss and work through it. I support all cross-Border initiatives. It would be great to see football in Ireland follow what has happened in many other sports.
