I thank the Minister for his comprehensive reply and wish him and the IRFU well in their agenda. Will it be possible to promote the image of the country as a sporting nation through this medium? I hope it will. This will benefit us from the point of view of tourism and economics because it will show this country's ability to relate to other countries in sport and add thereby to our economic position.
