Motion text

That this House notes 40 years since Northern Ireland's victory in the British Home International Championships; highlights the significance of this being the last game played in the Home International Championships, resulting in Northern Ireland still holding the trophy to this day; further notes that this was only the third time in 87 tournaments that Northern Ireland were undisputed champions, and the only time goal difference was used to determine a champion; and underlines that it also marked the first time since 1928 that neither Scotland nor England placed in the top two and that the trophy was permanently awarded to the Irish Football Association.
