DUBLIN’S LORD Mayor Andrew Montague launched Africa Week yesterday, an event scheduled for late May which, it is hoped, will showcase the sporting talents of members of the African community living in Ireland.

Among the events being organised as part of Africa Week, which is backed by the likes of Sport Aid and Sport Against Racism in Ireland (Sari) are a football match between an “All Island” under-19 side and a team made up of the most talented young members of the African community living in Ireland.
