The Scottish Government accepts the sentiment of most of the motion passed, and we will seek to implement what it urges the government to do.

We have contacted relevant negotiators and notified them of our desire to re-energize a joint UK-ROI bid. We have been informed a team for talks is being assembled, and will engage with said members as soon as we are notified of their availability. We fully and unreservedly believe in the potential of sport We will therefore push for the presentation of a rigorous and viable joint bid.

We believe fully in the other stated goal of expanding World Heritage designations. Though it isn’t under our control, we will continue to vigorously pursue further designations through the annual submission process.. Scotland has several sites that we believe qualify for World Heritage site status - for example, the Iron Age remains in Shetland, the unique landscapes and Gaelic culture of the Highlands and the Western Isles, and the historic industrial areas in and around Glasgow. Being designated as a World Heritage site provides an important boost to cultural, historical or natural heritage’s chances of being preserved for future generations, and we intend to advocate for the inscription of the Scottish sites mentioned and more.
