NORTHERN IRELAND FOOTBALL TEAM

Early day motion 1253, tabled 29 March 2007 by Gregory Campbell (DUP). Signed by 20 members.

That this House notes the recent results of the Northern Ireland football team in the European Championship qualifiers, including the 2-1 win over Sweden; acknowledges the fact that after this latest result Northern Ireland now sits top of their group; salutes the outstanding performance of Lawrie Sanchez, all the team including top scorer David Healy, and their magnificent supporters; and encourages all the other home countries who currently occupy lower positions in their groups to take as their inspiration the country whose unofficial anthem is We're not Brazil, we're Northern Ireland.

Signatures by party: Labour 9, DUP 5, Conservative 3, Liberal Democrat 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1, UUP 1.
