GETAFE is correct
Get a fee

105a is not SPAR

but definately STAR which is Kieran Donaghy's nickname.

Also for 38a it says it is 6 letters when there is only actually space for 5 letters.

Ans is

LOGAN ; Gabby Logan ; Logan is an anagram on ANGLO

An Sionnach

Thanks Tullamore Dew. Pal thinks 105a is Spar. I may be wrong but I think it's Star, the nickname for Kerry's Kieran Donaghy.

? 16a = D-h--a.
? 31a = -a-l. Is it Gael.
? 58a = --i.
? 59a = O--. I presume it's Orr.
? 77a = --s.
? 79a = U--a.
? 89a = --a-.
?102a = U--e. I presume it's Urge.
67d = --r-o.
