They are a proud reflection of our nation's potential for success. We appreciate the important contribution that sport has made to building a healthy nation. Our goal is to promote greater participation in sport.

I take this opportunity to wish our international rugby team, who are doing us proud in faraway New Zealand, every success next Saturday and for the remainder of the World Cup. Who knows what might happen? If I may be parochial, I wish my neighbour Rob Kearney - who played for the same GAA club as myself, the famous Cooley Kickhams, although not at the same time - another star performance for the country next weekend.
