Jim O'Keeffe: If after a Munster game in Biarritz there was too much celebration and, as a result, a person was wanted in accord with the system in France, it would be normal for that person to come before the examining magistrate.

If one felt one had a genuine case to make, what sort of hoops would one have to go through and what...

Jim O'Keeffe: I take the Minister's point that it is wise to have clarity on the issue.
