SOCCER
The FAI are to investigate a motivational video played by Republic of Ireland manager Stephen Kenny to his squad before the friendly match against England.
The video is believed to have included a reference to the 1916 Easter rising and footage of the win over England in 1988 and the Lansdowne Road riot of 1995.
Some disquiet from a non playing member of staff over the content is reported to have been raised with FAI administrators.
