Italian National Day

I welcome the flying of the Italian flag at the City Chambers today to mark Italian National Day (Festa Della Repubblica). I was approached by constituents of Italian origin who attend the Club Romano in the West End to ask if the flag could be flown to mark the day.

I am pleased that the Italian flag is flying today to mark the Italian National Day, I want to thank the council officers who made this possible. There is significant Italian community in Dundee and they have made a real contribution to the history of the city and it is right and proper that this contribution is marked in some way. I hope that those who are celebrating their Italian heritage today enjoy their day.
