The Football Association of Ireland have supported the lead taken by English governing bodies, who have written to Twitter and Facebook claiming their platforms remain "havens of abuse".

The open letter to chief executives Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg asks them "for reasons of basic human decency" to use the power of their systems to end the abuse.
