Seanad debates

Tuesday, 4 October 2011

There was one case during the year in which I thought I would be asking the Minister of State to intervene. When Ireland defeated England in the Cricket World Cup there was a move to exclude us from the next world cup but the men with cricket bats have made the appropriate gestures, and I hope Ireland does qualify. That was a great victory but the Government, with its incredible diplomatic contacts worldwide, may sometimes have to stand up when an Irish team appears to be unfairly treated. I thought that was the case but it has been remedied.
