Unionists have condemned the singing of a pro-IRA chant on the final night of the Féile An Phobail festival in west Belfast.

Organisations which fund Féile An Phobail have been challenged to state their position on an incident of pro-IRA chanting on the last night of the festival. There were pro-IRA chants as the Wolfe Tones played their annual gig on Sunday evening.

With Féile a wrap for another year, it is important to appreciate the fantastic opportunity it gives young players and how much these early experiences contribute to how players develop into adult athletes. At underage level the foundations are laid for the future superstar, writes Valerie Mulcahy.
