Kenny touts all-island soccer team

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has given his backing to the idea of an all-Ireland soccer entity, as it would make us a “far stronger team”.

Describing himself as “a big supporter” of the concept, he made the comments as the fallout of the Irish team’s demolition by Spain in the Euro Championship engulfed the country.

Roy Keane once again managed to cause deep division and debate with his comments about the team’s display and the fans’ reaction to Thursday’s 4-0 loss, the biggest defeat for the national side in more than 40 years.
