Ireland’s Davis Cup tie in Peru, dubbed the country’s biggest for 40 years, will go ahead as planned despite ongoing political arrest in the South American country which has claimed dozens of lives.

Clashes between protesters and police have been taking place for two months now with the latest reported fatality bringing to 58 the number of people killed in the wake of the impeachment and arrest last month of President Pedro Castillo.
