The Irish team’s World Cup dreams are all but over, but for young fans like Aisling Meehan, aged three, their World Cup dreams are only just beginning.

Aisling and her 10-week-old baby brother, James, were among the hundreds of Irish soccer fans who flocked to Turner’s Cross stadium in Cork City today to watch Ireland take on Canada live from Perth in their second game of the World Cup campaign, organised by the Munster Football Association with help from Cork City Council.
