No motion for a boycott from the FAI membership will overturn the decision for Ireland to face Israel, according to chief executive David Courell.

Ireland were recently grouped with Israel in the Nations League just four months after the General Assembly voted by a 93% majority to seek suspension of the country’s national and club teams from Uefa competitions.
