Jack Charlton led the country to Euro 88 as well as its first two World Cups in 1990 and 1994.

Earlier today, Sinn Fein TD Pa Daly called on the council to open a book of condolences, stating it would be a fitting way for people to show their appreciation to the former Ireland manager.

Deputy Daly says Jack Charlton was a unique personality in the history of Irish sport whose Irish team fostered a spirit of togetherness and inclusivity yet to be surpassed.
