The motion

That the Parliament acknowledges what it considers the far-reaching charity work of the Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal; notes that the appeal’s 53rd consecutive donation will take place prior to the Ireland versus Scotland football match and understands that the appeal is contributing £5,000 as its share of a joint donation with the Ireland fans' group, You Boys In Green, to the children’s charity, Aoibheann’s Pink Tie; understands that Aoibheann’s Pink Tie aims to help and offer practical support to the families of children diagnosed with cancer and who are attending St John’s Oncology Ward in Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital; believes that it is a very worthwhile charity and that the children and families will benefit greatly from this very generous funding boost; praises the organisers and supporters of the Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal and those involved in You Boys In Green and believes that this show of fan solidarity in support of a children’s charity is a highly commendable and inspiring model and shows football fans in a very positive light, and thanks the Tartan Army Sunshine Appeal on what it sees as its efforts in continuing to spread the good name of Scotland throughout the world with its generosity and goodwill.
