You have now incurred a financial sanction.
Do you expect us to foot the bill for that?
I think real leadership has to be shown.
And if there was that real leadership there, the government wouldn't be opposing our motion this evening.
They wouldn't be opposing a motion tomorrow.
Instead, they've just washed their hands of it.
It's this flip-floppy, watery, pat each other on the back, look at all the great things we're doing, but we're not actually saying nothing.
And we're going to leave it over there to the FEI to decide.
And depending on what way you act...
we may have a different conversation further down the line.
It's not strong enough, it's not political leadership and it certainly isn't the morality that the Irish public expect from their government.
On a final point on this, if it comes to a situation where the game is played and it is played in Dublin, even though it has to be said that does look unlikely after yesterday's reports, what does that protest actually look like with an Israeli football team in Dublin?
Personally, I don't think, I can't speak for the Irish footballing community, and I can't speak for the Stop the Game campaign, which I presume they have discussed as they are the leaders in this mobilisation.
I just don't think that...
The team would get anywhere near the pitch.
I could envisage perhaps blockades, you know, peaceful protests.
I'm not suggesting anything otherwise, but I don't believe that the match would be playable in Dublin.
I don't think it's fair to not only put, you know, our football team in that position.
There's ancillary staff in the FAI.
There's staff in PSG.
