Erin McGreehan (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

After a wonderful weekend of sport, I want to look ahead and think of Friday week, when the Olympic Games begin. We have an incredible Team Ireland going to Tokyo to wear our green and represent this island proudly and well. I hope the Leader and the Cathaoirleach will write a letter to Team Ireland to wish them the best of luck from us in this House. Representing one's country at any level, especially in the Olympic Games, is an incredible honour. My interest is in athletics and we have a strong athletics team. I pay tribute to every person who has given blood, sweat and tears to get on to the Irish Olympic team. I look forward to cheering them on and seeing them do the work and compete to the best of their ability.
