Republic of Ireland news conference delayed before controversial Israel game

The Republic of Ireland have delayed the pre-match news conference planned for Sunday's Uefa Nations League game against Israel in Hungary - a fixture campaigners have called on them to boycott.

Heimir Hallgrimsson's team are scheduled to meet in Debrecen at 19:45 BST, with the return fixture in Backa Topola, Serbia on 4 October.

They have faced calls to withdraw from the games because of the ongoing Israel-Gaza war with a "Stop The Game" campaign - organised by the pressure group Irish Sport for Palestine - gathering pace.
