Ireland defeated Qatar 1-0 last night, however, the main story surrounding the national team is their fixture versus Israel looming in the distance.
During the Qatar match, the game was interrupted twice due to Palestinian themed tennis balls thrown onto the pitch in protest of the Nations League fixture.
According to The Sun's Neil O'Riordan, the FAI are seeking to move the venue of the match outside of Dublin.
The FAI are to set to meet on Tuesday to discuss the proposal while President Paul Cooke is away in Montreal.
It is uncertain if the figurehead will make travel arrangements to return for the meeting.
It is unlikely that this intervention will see #StopTheGame campaign deem the decision as going far enough.
Throughout the week it has been clear to see the opposition towards Israel being allowed to compete with no sporting sanctions despite the ongoing genocide in Gaza and Lebanon being underlined this week.
Earlier today it was even announced that the threshold of signatures required to request the FAI to hold an Extraordinary General Meeting was reached.
The EGM would only consist of one topic - a motion calling on Ireland to refuse to play Israel.
The FAI insists however, that failing to play Israel would break UEFA rules which could coincide with potential sporting punishments.
If the game is to go ahead, will it played at a neutral venue?
