I am sending you a link to an article in today's (19th December) Irish
Times about the Ireland Under-15 football team which defeated Juventus
yesterday in Qatar. The team's coach, Niall Harrison, says that this is
the most ethnically diverse squad ever sent abroad by the FAI.
There are interviews with Des Tomlinson, the FAI's Intercultural Officer
who is also on the board of "Show Racism the Red Card", with Ken McCue of
"Sport against Racism Ireland", and with Johnny Bootman of Corduff FC. All
four spoke of the challenges young players face and the contribution they
are making.
