Mr. James Galvin:
As a nation we should not feel inferior about attracting international events. The Special Olympics was a fantastic event and we have hosted the Ryder Cup. We have put in a very strong bid for the 2023 Rugby World Cup and this year we are holding the Women's World Cup. The facilities, and our capacity to attract these events and to put them on, are there.
