Cllr Kevin Humphreys has called for the cancellation of the next two Northern Ireland matches to be played at the Aviva Stadium. This is due the high levels of public disorder and delinquency fueled by alcohol that occurred last night, Wednesday 9th of February in the surrounding residential areas.

Local residents had to undergo a barrage of abuse and intimidation and were unable to leave their homes. From early afternoon, gangs of supporters were roaming the streets while openly drinking from cans of beer and bottles of spirits. Local streets were used as public conveniences and damage was done to a number of properties. Residents should not be expected to have to undergo this again.

There must be guarantees of proper crowd control, curbs placed on public consumption of alcohol and sufficient Gardai in place to protect residents and property of those on the frontline of moving crowds.

The next two matches are scheduled for Tuesday 24 May (Republic of Ireland v Northern Ireland) and Friday 27 May (Wales v Northern Ireland).

Kevin is a Councillor for the South East Inner City and General election candidate for Labour in constituency of Dublin South East. He lives off Bath Avenue, which is part off the crowd control program for the Avivia Stadium.

How did a picture of Polish fan in Belfast attatch itself to a Labour party press release?

Very cheeky Declan.

So Sunday's game is the decider, a draw will be good enough for Ireland to lift the trophy.

The wee 6 finished with 3 defeats, 10 goals conceded, nil goals scored. quite shocking $:-\$

ROI won it, not conceded a goal. 3-0, 5-0 and 2-0 tonight

Well done ROI but IMO need to introduce England into this tournament to spice it up.

yeah, that;s seems to be the general consensus alright. But a country like ours aint got to lift many trophies so it was good to see.

Northern Ireland supporters display a banner during the game

Triple crown champions (really)

in that first pic MS, I dont know whether its ironic or moronic that the 'love football , hate bigotry' banner sits alongside the union jack !!

then the third banner- 'fai keep yer hands off our players' ....the above flag and attitude might have a lot to do with the players actually wanting to declare for Ireland and not the temporary team.
they just dont seem to get it !

Does the number of UJ's are Norn iron games suggest that they would be in support of one team for the UK?
