Public screening for Ireland match
Brendan Howlin sought a Dublin fan zone for the weekend’s match, and the Tánaiste said the Government could work with relevant bodies to provide one.
As I did not have a spot on Leaders' Questions today, I join with other parties on my behalf and that of the Labour Party in congratulating the Irish team on the magnificent result gained by them last night. I specifically congratulate the manager and fans. Every other major city involved in this occasion has a fan zone with a big screen. We have done something similar for all-Ireland finals and even for the equality referendum result. Is there any prospect that either the Government or Dublin City Council could by Sunday provide a facility for fans to enjoy the magnificent atmosphere if they cannot get to France?
