Pro-IRA chanting at Dublin Airport condemned days after Ireland football team controversy

A new row has broken out after a video emerged of passengers singing the controversial pro IRA song Celtic Symphony at Dublin Airport.

The clip shows a group singing the song with the lyric “Ooh ah, up the Ra”. The Ireland women’s soccer team were forced to apologise after they were filmed singing it in their dressing room following their World Cup play-off win over Scotland last week.

It is not clear if those at the airport were singing in solidarity with the team. The video has been condemned by politicians on both sides of the border.
