Amateur and underage football in Dublin is set for an unplanned extended break after the local members of the Irish Soccer Referees’ Society (ISRS) branch unanimously voted for strike action.

Notice of their intention to withdraw services stems from a “lack of confidence in the FAI’s Disciplinary Control Unit”, according to a memo circulated by Dublin branch secretary Sean Slattery.
