The motion
That this House welcomes the decision by the R & A to hold The Open Golf Championship at Royal Portrush; acknowledges the tremendous work done by the R & A, tourism authorities, Northern Ireland Executive, Royal Portrush Golf Club and many others to bring the most prestigious golf tournament in the world back to what is recognised as one of the best links courses anywhere; also pays tribute to Ulster's golfing greats, Rory McIlroy, Graham McDowell and Darren Clarke who have been in support of the move for some time; and looks forward to the required work being completed so that The Open can return by 2019 to Royal Portrush.
