Irish Justice Minister Dermot Ahern has joined the furore over French captain Henry's handball by demanding a rematch in the interests of fair play. "They probably won't grant it as we are minnows in world football but let's put them (Fifa) on the spot," the minister said. "It's the least we owe the thousands of devastated young fans around the country. "Otherwise, if that result remains, it reinforces the view that if you cheat, you will win. "Thierry Henry has admitted handling the ball, claims he told the ref he handled it. "Millions of people worldwide saw it was a blatant double handball - not to mention a double offside - and we should put the powers that be in the cosy world of Fifa on the spot and demand a replay."
