Staff due to work in a number of areas ahead of and during Ireland's match against Israel on October 4 have begun a consultation process over what they describe as “growing safety and moral concerns about the fixture”.

The staff, who are members of Siptu, are due to work on behalf of the Football Association of Ireland (FAI), RTÉ, and airports.
