Possible to bring similar prestigious events to Northern Ireland in the future . I will certainly look at that. I believe it really is the right decision, for the g8 to be based in ireland on the 17th and 18th of june, and what i thought was interesting yesterday standing there talking about the situation, something that would have been unthinkable 20 years ago, to have that sort of event with so many World Leaders coming to Northern Ireland, that i think it would be a great advertisement for ev...
