Development of Rugby: Motion.

 

I support this worthwhile motion. Some 1,500 people walked to the IRFU buildings to protest over what is happening. This is about having four professional rugby teams in Ireland, it is not about Connacht, which is the fourth professional team, having an identity. We must put our weight behind those involved. I have no doubt that a solution can be found. I am delighted the Minister said he will meet the IRFU in the near future and I hope he will keep all avenues open.
