    I think the point is that the Giro was welcome to these shores, north & south to show off our countryside, green landscapes etc, to be shown in over 100 countries live on TV.

    To assist in attracting Tourists, to come here to spend their cash,

    Not for tourists to look at tele, and wonder, why in Ireland do they have pictures of people on the lamposts, and if I go there do I have to get posters of me printed, and stuck up so everyone knows. Who I am.

    Or do they have a lot of crime, and these are all Wanted Posters.

    True, of course,

    It's just that in other countries, including our Northern Neighbours, they do not mix Politics, with an International Sporting event, shown live on International TV.

    It appears that this thread is losing it's local topicality. If you wish to continue in this vein - please consider taking it up in the Politics forum.
