About this episode

When the Irish football team was drawn against Israel last week, many people in Ireland immediately hoped the game wouldn’t happen. Instead as the days have passed, the game seems more likely not less. On Free State today we look at what has stopped Israel being banned from sport while Russia have been. Dion wonders what a boycott would achieve and explains how Uefa and Fifa have failed to act. Joe disagrees and calls on the Ireland team to represent the Irish people and take a stand.
