Activists from Kildare [disrupted](https://www.instagram.com/p/DdtrD7fiOz0/?ref=aontachtmedia.ie) a Fine Gael business meeting, dubbed as a “business breakfast” in Ardboyne Hotel Navan yesterday. 

The activists interrupted his speech and called on Tánaiste Simon Harris to apply pressure on the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) to boycott the upcoming Ireland versus Israel soccer match.

“Tánaiste, I'm here to appeal to you to contact the FAI to call off the Ireland-Israel match. Over 70,000 people have been killed in Gaza, “ one of the activists said.

“It's in your hands, Tánaiste. You're the one who can end the game. It's the least you can do, Tánaiste. It's the least you can do. Help get this game stopped, Tánaiste, “ he continued. 

“Enough empty words, Tánaiste. Use your power, use your voice, get the game stopped. Contact the FAI, it's not too late, “ another activist added.

The upcoming Ireland versus Israel game has seen mass resistance from the working class, with many [citing concerns](https://aontachtmedia.ie/why-we-should-stop-the-game/) about playing the settler-colonial genocidal country of “Israel” being used to legitimize its ongoing occupation of Palestine.
