Olympic Torch to pass through Ireland in 2012

    From the Irish Times today, a nice bit of news:
    THE OLYMPIC torch relay for the 2012 London Olympics will take a specially-agreed route from Belfast to Dublin, under an agreement between the Olympic Council of Ireland (OCI) and the International Olympic Committee (IOC), writes Ian O’Riordan .

    After the series of political protests which marred the Olympic torch relay ahead of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, the IOC decided the route would be limited to the host country, in this case Britain – but because the OCI are an all-Ireland body, representing the 32 counties, including Northern Ireland, it was agreed the relay would come to Belfast and on to Dublin as a special gesture.
