Soccer team urged to help stop school bus attacks

The Republic of Ireland soccer squad was today urged to help end attacks on a Protestant grammar school after a bus carrying children as young as 11 was stoned following the team’s last World Cup match.

Ulster Unionist Assembly member Derek Hussey called on Irish goalkeeper Shay Given and the Football Association of Ireland to help end attacks on Strabane Grammar School in Co Tyrone by people wearing the team colours.
