Philly McMahon has hit out at Sky Sports News presenter Rob Wotton following his controversial questioning of Republic of Ireland star Chloe Mustaki.
Wotton asked if Ireland's players needed educating after members of Vera Pauw's team were filmed singing along to Wolfe Tones song 'Celtic Symphony', which includes a pro-IRA reference, following their World Cup play-off win over Scotland.
The FAI, Pauw and a number of their players have since apologised over the incident.
The line of questioning taken by Wotton towards Mustaki was severely criticised by viewers following the interview on Wednesday, including McMahon.
Wotton first asked Mustaki if she wanted to apologise for the players singing the song.
"Yeah, absolutely, look, we're all really sorry here in Dublin," said Mustaki.
"It was obviously a massive lapse in judgement on our end, you know, lots going on when the final whistle went and we absolutely didn't mean to cause any hurt on our end so we do really apologise for that, absolutely."
But many viewers were angered when Wotton went to ask: "Does it highlight the need for education on issues like this? Is that something you'd be for?"
Mustaki replied: "I don't really think so. I think we need to learn in these moments to be better and to do better.
"You know, we've all been brought up knowing a lot about Irish history.
"So, we just need to be better in moments like this, and we recognise that absolutely on our end."
Dublin GAA great McMahon took to social media to have his say on the interview, tweeting: "'The need for education' What!"
Replying to a comment on his post later, the eight-time All-Ireland winner added: "An English person asking an Irish person is there a need for more education on Irish history. Are you for real?"
A number of other people also hit out at Wotton over the question.
One tweeted: "Think we can all agree that the singing was ill-judged but the absolute irony overload here of a British person implying that an Irish person needs to be educated on Anglo-Irish history when their whole education system ignores it."
Another said: "An English man asking an Irish woman if she needs to be educated on Irish history has to be one of the most ironic things of all time."
