Cork hurlers ring the changes for Galway clash
Would be cool to see an Irish team at these games, maybe once the opportunity for exposure and competition for our athletes outweighs the negative associations of our past.
@Sam Murray: you understand what the commonwealth means dont ya…….so u want a republic of ireland to be represented at the british commonwealth games.. im a bit confused u might explain more please.
@Seanie Bourke: Well I suppose the REPUBLIC of South Africa is there. Yeah I’ve a fair idea, it’s former dominions and colonies that have been invented to be part of a union of nations and as a result part of the commonwealth games. They relinquished control of most of those countries at least 50 or so years ago but they still take part. Some opt out such as Ireland & Zimbabwe etc… but you have more that take part where the Brits have no control at all – India, Pakistan, Singapore. Obviously would never happen because of our past with them but would be cool nonetheless
@Sam Murray: a united Ireland will be part of the commonwealth, and take part in the games.
