Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald has condemned Irish soccer legend Robbie Keane for continuing to manage an Israeli team, stating that "sport and genocide shouldn't mix".

Mr Keane, who fled Israel in the wake of the October 7 Hamas attack, was mobbed by fans when he returned to Tel Aviv last week after his team's success in the Europa Conference League.
