Decision of the International Gymnastics Federation to Ban Three Athletes from Northern Ireland from competing in the 2022 Commonwealth Games
That this Assembly deplores the decision of the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) to ban three athletes from Northern Ireland from competing in the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham; acknowledges that this ban includes the defending pommel-horse gold-medallist Rhys McClenaghan; affirms the athletes' right to define their identity as British, Irish or both, in accordance with the 1998 Agreement; reminds FIG that the Agreement is a binding international treaty; and calls on FIG to reverse its decision with immediate effect.
