Success Of Ulster Rugby Team

EDM number 259 in 1998-99, proposed by Martin Smyth on 01/02/1999.

That this House congratulates coach Harry Williams, captain David Humphreys and the rest of the Ulster rugby squad on their magnificent achievement of winning the European Rugby Cup; commends the commitment and attitude of the Ulster supporters who travelled from the Province and elsewhere to cheer their team to victory; welcomes the positive impact the result will have on the development of rugby football in Ulster, particularly at schoolboy level; and hopes that this achievement will hasten the day when similar sporting events can be held at a new national stadium in Belfast.

This motion has been signed by a total of 25 MPs.
