So like these people, OK, are contributing enormously to our society, to our economy, generating the taxes that are allowing us to do a whole range of other things.
And the question then always sort of comes in about, well, you know, the asylum and refugees and everything like that.
I would like to think as a country, OK, we are our natural orientation is still if people are fleeing persecution, that we bring them in because that reflects, I think, positively on our society.
If asylum claims are rejected, they should be rejected and people should be deported.
I have absolutely no problem.
OK, Mary.
But between the economics and the sociology and everything, I think our society in terms of embracing is better for it.
Yeah, this is a great story.
So although Ireland did not make it to the World Cup, one of our neighbours would have liked that.
So Roberto López, better known as Pico, plays for Shamrock Rovers.
And tomorrow night he'll be running out for Cape Verde against Spain.
So a very sort of glamorous tie, you'd have to say.
The Independent have a wonderful story on him.
So it's not just this sort of single point in his career, but he was born in 1992.
And during his time playing in the Dublin Schoolboy League, he would have played against people like Robbie Brady and Jeff Hendricks, Matt Doherty.
So these will be familiar names to soccer fans in Ireland because all of these guys went on to England and I suppose had maybe more high profile careers.
Pico himself essentially remained in Ireland.
And again, you know, certain people will love reading through this story because the clubs that get mentioned, Lourdes Celtic, Home Farm,
Belvedere, my own former club of St.
Kevin's, gets a mention.
