Oireachtas v Diplomats - Football Against Racism in Europe (FARE) Friendly

That's according to Fianna Fail TD for Donegal North East, Niall Blaney, who captained a group of Oireachtas members in a football match against a team of staff and diplomats from embassies based in Ireland. The match marked the culmination of 10 days of activities around the country to mark Football Against Racism in Europe ,FARE, Week 2009, which have been coordinated in Ireland by the FAI.
