The motion
That this House commends the Manchester-Mayo Gathering for celebrating, through its festivities from 1 to 9 August 2013, the deep and enduring cultural bond shared between the city of Manchester and County Mayo on account of the many Irish migrants and people of Irish descent who have helped to shape Manchester both physically and culturally; recognises South Manchester as home to one of the largest Mayo communities in the UK; and further notes that some of Manchester's most famous products, Manchester United and the music of the Smiths, the Stone Roses and Oasis, all bear testament to the great contribution of Irish heritage to Manchester's international identity.
