Micheál Martin has backed the Girls in Green in the row over their singing of a rebel song including the chant, ‘Ooh, aah, up the ‘Ra.’
The Taoiseach praised the “magnificent” achievements of the team in their World Cup run that culminated in the Irish women’s football team beating Scotland in a dramatic playoff on Tuesday night.
Mr Martin said that the women and the FAI had delivered a “comprehensive” apology for any hurt they may have caused.
