Show Racism the Red Card (SRTRC), a campaign against racism in English football, with the support of David O'Leary, Niall Quinn and Curtis Fleming, has come to Ireland.

A launch in Dublin's Irish Film Centre was attended by Everton footballer Danny Cadamarteri, SRTRC chairman Kevin Myles and groups from Bonnybrook Youth Club and St Mary's NS, Dorset Street, Dublin, which has a large number of ethnic-minority pupils.

The campaign video combines football action with players talking about their experiences of racism in football; it also gives advice on racism and how to fight it. It comes with a resource pack. It can be ordered from the National Youth Federation, 20 Lower Dominick Street, Dublin 1 (e-mail: srtrc@ireland.com; tel: 086 3004299).
