Just when you thought the furore was dying down...
This afternoon a British Conservative Party MP randomly referenced the rumbling controversy over the Irish women's soccer team singing Celtic Symphony - during what was a Q & A session with Liz Truss over her Government's erratic management of the UK economy which has seen Kwasi Kwarteng sacked as Chancellor after just 38 days.
And during his convoluted question, John Baron labelled the Celtic Symphony saga a 'low point' for the UK.

Speaking in the House of Commons, he said: "Mr Speaker, there's been a number of low points recently, including the Republic of Ireland's football team singing pro-IRA songs in the changing room.
"We should never forget the sacrifice of those who paid the price to maintain the peace in The Troubles.
"Closer to home, recent events meant that spending is going to be more constrained than originally thought.
"May I encourage the Prime Minister to ensure that we retain compassion in politics and these decisions including maintaining the link between benefits and inflation?"
Sadly, the Irish women's team's historic qualification for next summer's World Cup has been overshadowed by one naive choice of song among a celebratory playlist that also featured harmless, modern pop songs by the likes of Taylor Swift and Co.
But when footage emerged the day after their play-off win over Scotland of some of the players singing the Wolfe Tones hit, which has since re-gained top spot in the Irish charts, manager Vera Pauw and players were quick to apologise unreservedly for any offence caused.
The song was originally released way back in 1987 as part of the centenary anniversary for Celtic football club.
The latest around the fall-out from the changing room celebrations is that UEFA has opened up an investigation into the matter but it's too early to tell what, if any, fine or punishment could be coming the FAI's way on the back of it.
