Ban on Argentinian soccer teams

Summary

Keating asked whether the Government would bar Argentinian soccer teams from Ireland. The Minister contrasted the Government’s approach to apartheid with human rights violations generally.

Does the Minister propose, in line with decisions previously taken by the Government, to ban the coming here of Argentinian soccer teams in future? Is that part of the parcel of representation he is talking about?

Comment on this

As the Deputy must be aware, our approach to apartheid and the basis of it is not just on the violation of human rights. It is because apartheid of its nature is contrary to even the common birthright we have as humans.
