Republic of Ireland face Israel twice in the next few weeks.
The Tanaiste says Irish Football players should not be "subjected to any pressure" when playing for their country.
This comes as the Republic of Ireland are set to face Israel in the Nations League on September 27th in Hungary and October 4th in Serbia.
Last month, the FAI confirmed that no tickets would be made available to Ireland supporters, with Ireland’s ‘home’ fixture being played behind closed doors and only Israeli fans permitted to attend the September game.
Speaking at the National Ploughing Championships in Screggan, Tanaiste Simon Harris says there are severe sanctions when governments and parliaments get invovled in such matters:
