Victory in the 1990 FA Cup settled much of the anxiety at Manchester United and persuaded them Alex Ferguson was on the right track. Manchester City’s FA Cup final win over Stoke in 2011 was a huge moment for a club whose recent history had been of failure. There is, at the very least, a strong possibility this will be his final season at City. Would another League Cup or an FA Cup, or both, be enough of a high to allow Guardiola to leave in triumph?

It was an extraordinary end to a bamboozling second half. Limerick seemed to fall asleep at the wheel, and by the time they woke up they were sliding towards the ditch. In an 11 minute spell in the middle of the second half Galway outscored Limerick by 0-8 to 0-1 and there was a stunning transfer of energy from green to maroon. Galway made three substitutions at half-time and another early in the second half and all of them made an impact. After their early burst, Galway scored just once in the next 19 minutes, by which time Limerick had taken a grip on the game.

Our recent book, which looks at the story of homelessness since the foundation of the Irish State, reveals a very different picture of this era. The DHAC adopted an innovative broad concept of homelessness, acknowledging families in insecure and overcrowded accommodation and linking rising homelessness with inadequate and unaffordable housing in Dublin. There remains an enduring view among most Irish people that homelessness is fundamentally wrong and must be tackled.

Ruth Coppinger told the conference the lack of action suggested an official view that “Palestinian lives are utterly worthless”, as she admonished the Taoiseach’s failure to criticise US foreign policy when he met Donald Trump on St Patrick’s Day. She also criticised the media for its generally positive coverage of the meeting. Iranian-Irish woman Farah Parvazi told the conference the left needed to avoid weighing the lives of Palestinians against those of Iranians when taking a position on the current war in the region. The Football Association of Ireland (FAI), he suggested, should not fulfil the men’s senior team’s Nation’s League fixtures against Israel later this year. But I still think the FAI should boycott the game.
