It's a typographical issue. They have a single opening quotation mark, not an apostrophe. And I've noticed a lot of this of late.

RTÉ (Irish TV) is broadcasting Greece v Republic of Ireland (UEFA Women's Nations League) live while there's nothing on Greek TV. What a pity that Greece decided to hold the game in Iraklio, Crete, where the stadium is pretty much empty.

From an Irish Independent report, we have O’Donnell's comments: "A n-achdaran, mar Éireannach, ó áit go labharthar Gaeilge blath, fear o náisiún go bhfuil teanga aici, agus ata fós ag bruin chun saoirse d'faghail, caithfidh mo labhart ins an feis Sasanach so in teanga féin."

Dublin: While Greeks held a protest calling for justice for the 57 dead of the 2023 #Tempi railway disaster (most of them students), a few braindead racist bigots shouted abuse at them, like "go home", "this isn't our country anymore because of youse" and "you're not wanted here".
